Cabair was badly managed, badly organised and badly delivered, with a deteriorating reputation; but it was still a CAA Accredited school for an Integrated Course trying to make the best of a bad situation.
So why does the CAA feel that this company should be allowed to take massive, huge, life changing 100% deposits up front? Their fiduciary nous was distinctly lacking in the recent past. What about a CAA funded escrow? Sure, it will put up the cost of flying but it's the only way I can work on for delivering peace of mind.
I am sure there will be lots of 'that's all we're required to do' responses (Nuremburg defence?). If that's the case it's inadequate, pathetic and disgraceful from a monopoly doing the bidding of our legislature. Who, incidentally take a lot of our gelt throughout the process of training.
