tail wheel....you are spot on. That requirement was abolished in the mid 90's because the Government decided that it was being rorted and was too hard to monitor and fix. Companies were using corporate social functions and claiming it as "training" in order to meet the 1.5% training expenditure. Boardroom meetings, weekends away at conferences whilst balancing a holiday attached to it, corporate boxes at sporting events etc.
Big business won the day and now they cry about skills shortages.
