Is the wake-up call just around the corner?
Four years ago I asked FCL why the mad rush on JAA,
their response, "Well we would not want the others
running the Euro aviation system would we. We have to
get in early to have some control". All that early input
and teething problems must have been very expensive
both for the CAA and flying schools.However that would not matter at all if their captive customer base remained captive'
they would all get their investments back!
But just a minute, what about the nations who avoided all
those problems and sat on the fence for the dust to settle.
Oh dear, big problem ! some of them can now do
the same job as our CAA and schools, for a lot less. The
captive customer base has just gone away - big style.
So, does our CAA have its business head on at the moment
trying to figure out a rescue plan?- you know get FCL dept
going on VAT free commercial training and monitoring a
good VTR system --I hope so for their sake. One things for
sure though, if I were them, I'd omit the cheaper alternatives
qualifications from my web-site too, in fact, if my web-man
advertised the competition on my own site I'd sack him
on the spot.
Another example of good quality Brit work given away
for others to coin-in on.
I hope the end product is cheaper training,for the airlines
included, maybe they would reconsider paying for type-ratings!!
Mr Wrigley could you point us in the direction of some
documentary evidence (in English) to support and hence
promote your post?
