Also the burden you have is the money! To start this business you would need at least $1,000,000 (ball park figure) to buy the newish planes, have pick up, staff members, administration fee's, rental fees such as buildings, hangers etc.

Then on top as some has already mentioned you have to hype this school up so another few $$$$$ for marketing.

To get CAA/JAA approval in another country I was told you have to be linked to a JAA school, so the IR/MCC would solve that problem but the CAA is the one to please.

I like the idea though as I was planning on doing this later on in time.
