I for one am a little sad to see this flying go down in flames the way they did. I learnt to fly there a decade ago, did most of the training there and was later employed by same school. 5 years of loyal service to them and the experience later got me into the right then left seat of a SAAB then an Airbus. Many fantastic memories and worked alongside some trully inspirational people but in the end it was a death by a thousand cut's for the school to which I was not shocked in the slightest when I heard of their downfall. A lethal cocktail of falling student numbers to cadet programs, no fee help, no funding, no maintenance and general feeling of surrender around the place. Some people may slander me for writing this post reminding me of the occasional moments that I simply hated the place but in the end they did get my career off the ground and met mates for life on those blue beer stained carpets with orange cushions.
