Thank heavens for hat Steve, and welcome to pprune land, where the truth flows for free, and the rumors even more so!
I now see where the story was based upon, sad to hear about your CP. here is a case of where our regs need to be more user oriented. Under such circumstances Casa should be able to grant you a period of time to operate, or allow you to operate with another CP or a CASA appointed one, or approved, so hat your business is not shut down. It's a triple hit, lost a friend and employee, lost business and money, and have to find a CP poste haste, which is never a good way to hire anyone let alone the CP.
I will see if I can change the thread topic. Glad to hear you have not been another victim of the YBAF GA curse
