It carried on from there. The damage to the brand to the brand was done. No matter what Cabair's instructors, management, marketing, operations did, they were at the mercy of 'armchair pilots'.
Do you not think that the brand was in any way damaged by the characteristics you described as "badly managed, badly organised and badly delivered, with a deteriorating reputation" ? Do you really believe that more harm was caused by posts on PPRUNE?
H'mmm.
When a company like this, which operates a financial model that sees much of its income come in well before the expediture (pretty much nirvana for a company as it shoudn't need to worry about cashflow!), goes bust it's only to be expected that remarks will be made on websites to forewarn others. Even if nothing had appeared on PPRUNE I would expect that if it had an untenable business model that it would fail anyway.
