Nice article Captivep - didnt know MH was so accomplished. He should go far...like Brazil.
Anyway lets hope Mr Chilvers gets his money back and more...
- TR J31 with OAA = Euros 21375
PER CREW (includes CAA exam fees) or approx £19k.
- Given that the J31 is a multi-crew aircrfat it is fair to say that the cost for the J31 on your license is approx. £9.5K per crew member.
- This cost excludes base training - which, i think, OAA cannot conduct.
- £15k - £9.5k = £5.5k x 5 FOs = £27.5k
- The cost of base training for 5 FOs in one day would not amount to £27k (J31 = approx £800 - £1k hourly operational rate?) possibly £5k maximum.
- Line training can be done during normal commercial/revenue earning sectors.
So
even if MH had paid for the TR with OAA and
had sent the email in his own name that still leaves the question of the £20k odd leftover. Where did it go?
Given he did not enter into consultation with the FOs with regards to the real cost and how this extra cash would be distributed contractually then this in itself is fraud. The fact he used Will Gilligan as an alias to solict the money in the first place just galvanises any case against him further.
