As an organisation nay regulator that depends on customers for survival I would even hazzard a suggestion that the CAA would not discourage applications.
Former CCAT staff seem to be involved, rewriting manuals and course material.
So - does anyone believe that a regulator worth their rations should even countenance sharing oxygen with a once dormant company run by the same bunch of jokers? If they do, are they not morally bankrupt and should they be allowed to continue a monopoly?
Waste of space. If you're going to regulate, do it properly. Time for change.
