Is there not some kind of solution whereby those wishing to become involved in running a flying school can find an existing RTF that isn't trading at the moment and change the names of the Head of Training and Accountable Manager? I know of schools that are 'trading as' a different name for marketing purposes with the old RTF's name in the small print. Provided no fraud is intended and the old RTF doesn't come with some unpleasant baggage (oh, I see where the idea is falling down already!)
There must be SOME legit RTFs where the principals simply wish to retire and new blood could take over - why not seek out one of those and buy it out?
Cheers,
