Hi Danny.
I think anyone would be nuts to rush into converting from a RTF to an ATO anytime soon!
....at the CAA road show they where encouraging RFs to do it asap...
I went to one of those. Complete waste of a day.
I understand that the former colleague commissioned by the CAA to write the template manuals for them, is now offering to re-write them for individual FTOs, for a large fee of course!
Things are going to have to change significantly, or I doubt that more than around 10-20 of the 400+ RTFs will survive the process.
I wonder how anyone could ever start up a new school under the CAA's version of the new rules. 'First write your own set of manuals without any template, then pay us £1,000?@
I don't think so!
