There are no schools offering FAA in the UK (well there are two tiny ones).. .. .I advocate protectionism of the UK GA Flight Training market within the boundaries of JAA member states.. .. .JAA and the EU is supposedly a trading block. The USA uses tax incentives on fuel and subsidy of GA to give its flight training a competitive advantage. This costs jobs in the UK flight training industry and undermines the development and expansion of UK (or JAA) GA flight training.. .. .Its all very well saving a few quid on your PPL course by going to the States but then you shouldn't cry about their being no Flying Instructors jobs for you in this country once you have that coveted CPL.. .. .People are always saying that GA is dying in this country. To right. Because America is bleeding it dry. I am all for fair competition between member states within JAA.. .. .WWW
