In the half dozen years I've been spending significant time at Cranfield, it's also been noticeable that there have been two flying training communities at EGTC: Cabair (who all talk to each other) and "Everybody else", who also all talk to each other.
Not sure why that's been the case, but it has been quite noticeable. I wonder if to some extent this attitude has stretched through the company - "we're part of Cabair" rather than "we're part of the flying community", and it's not helped them much?
