The training fund has doubled from last year... so the small operators are expected to pay even more even though profits haven't exactly soared. In what world should an airline with 2 caravans have to pay $20k like Coastal with its 13 caravans?? And what Precision is paying into the fund is peanuts for their size of company. And guess what... if you can't afford to pay it... your AOC will not be renewed... the word 'extortion' comes to mind.
