I know at least one Panel (Instructor) Examiner who was ex CFS, very experienced, well respected who has given up examining because he could not stomach any more of this bureaucratic nonsense.
As an experienced pilot in several different theatres of operation who is approaching retirement from the airlines, I was considering seeing my days out doing some instruction at the local flying club I have been a member of for nearly 50 years but when I look at all the irrelevant bureaucracy and fees associated with the change to EASA (hell WHY should a small flying club have to write a comprehensive training manual) I am seriously considering hanging up the headset - I suspect there are many like myself who are feeling the same way.
As I have stated before we need nothing short of a major revolution to stop this nonsense - the first step would be for UK plc to pull out of the EU completely and just go back to having our own national licences and wave two fingers to the Eurocrats in Brussels.
