The whole business began when the owners of Baines Simmons quit the CAA early to set the company up, presumably having first ensured that the CAA would give them lots of work, provided, presumably again, that they took on those who would make that happen when they left the CAA.
The other role the CAA plays for Baines Simmons is to recommend it to other Authorities. That's instead of promoting their own Training company, CAAi. I wonder why? Even if CAAi got the work it would promptly be sub-contracted to Baines Simmons or Avisa.
What a tangled web......A330 flight decks aren't the only places where there's a strong stink of s**t.
