I am a little confused as to why WFs statement that....

"The days of nice little private flying cubs are over...." is causing so much concern.

Those days are now over, that is a correct statement and it was one that could be levelled at a number of units in the past [no names no pack drill].

I would say that recent developments in setting up NPAS have rubbed out the last of the so called "flying clubs" but I can pinpoint a number of periods where certain UK operations were described as exactly that [by people on this thread].

If WF had made that statement in the present tense that would be a different matter.

Too sensitive by far!
