Pressby wants it both ways; if it is a rumour then don't speculate, if it is not then don't talk about it. It is not a rumour, it definitely was true, 5 flying instructors were suspended. A definitive explanation can be found with a search for WMU, look for Wrinkled Plum's original posting 06/28/2002 with explanation by Shaft.ted. WMU certainly wasn't worried about their employees' reputations, rumour was good enough.
Now this is speculation; as there are no new JAA courses ay WMU there must be some very expensive QFIs sitting around doing very little. This situation will not last long-look for more contracts not being renewed at the end of June. I would imagine that the Ground Instructors (what's left of them)would also be seeing the writing on the wall.
Battle Creek put a lot of money into IPTC. WMU put very little. The enormity of what was done to the IPTC program by WMU has only now just filtered thru to to the folks of that town.
