Sticky threads are for spiders.
The thread's stickiness is, for the most part, irrelevant; that written is now in the public domain.
WWW has obviously hit upon a nerve that has caused Mordacai to react, as history shows, in character, but is probably the reaction of most operatives at Floridian FTOs.
Mordacai - you protest too much regarding your interests, in my opinion. You state regularly that you are not the voicepiece for EFT and are working alone on various points raised on fora. Yet, when EFT's administrator fails to account for account black holes, you raise a defence on behalf of the company with nary a word from official management - the silence of its absence quite deafening on the website.
This shouldn't be misconstrued as a personal attack on Mordacai or any other individual engaged in training in Florida - I believe it is a problem with JAR (as was) FTOs in Florida writ large. For reasons that PPRuNe Towers put so eloquently. They are all within the conceptual reach of the law but without the financial reach of most individuals. It would seem that the ultimate sanction to these operators is a risible artifice which can be hidden behind cravenly. Do right because it is right, not because it is the law.
Maybe it is time to regulate these places properly; CAA representatives performing spot checks, secret shopper surveys? That would cost money... it would put up the price of training, but expensive dreams should only be enlivened if you can afford to lose the stake.
If you subscribe to the notion that the CAA is only there to make life that bit more unbearable, then you should appreciate maybe their backing the 'approvals' list for foreign FTOs with legal aid to subscribers. Should a regulator merely uphold regulations or should they be helpful as well? Just a thought - possibly a new thread?
