Quality of training material from some schools is as high as ever but this thread is titled "CAA - Nothing for your money." The CAA have nothing to do whatsoever with the quality of training material from schools such as Bristol. Indeed, it's a dangerous argument to follow since the CAA approved all the schools that went bust taking with them all the students' money. granted, they never claimed to test the financial credibility of these organizations but they didn't do much to help the students when the schools went under. I've just received my credit card statement showing my CPL flight test. Rather than face reality, I'm in denial over how much the CAA charge for flight tests, licence issue, medicals.
Church fetes have websites these days so saying the CAA is better than ever because they have a www address is specious.
