Start up Airframes
C5 I said to get (some 'suitable' air frames into the system) assuming that most of these could be the best of what is in the fleet now.
If we need some extra's then the balance could be made up of EASA cert machines.
As for operating a 'Hodge-Podge' (your words not mine; i would have said mixed fleet) i was not aware that the BGA Clubs/ GSA operated in any other way.
If the 'improved system' can not generate 20 air frames in 6 months then they might just as well close the whole thing down and give the flying contract to the clubs/GSA. It may well be that 'currency' can be regained with AE flights to start with followed by an increased training task as machines and instructor availability returns. The whole point is the CRISIS is here; it is not going to magic itself back to normal without some change in both management capability at the top of the system and out of the box thinking from everyone.
PS Will post reply from CAS when/if i get one.
