Do people really think that Baines-Simmons give them some kind of inside track to CAA thinking?
The company says on their LinkedIn page: "Baines Simmons helps to bridge gaps of knowledge, competence, skills and understanding between regulated organisations and their employees, and regulatory authorities and their inspectors".

Translation: We want to come between regulators and the regulated and make some money.

Example: You could pay £475+VAT for a 1 day course to understand NPA 2013-01
Enhanced Safety Requirements in Continuing Airworthiness

Or you could download for free the presentations from a free 1 day seminar held by EASA!

If you look at their recent adverts:
Job Ref.: EN00274
Job Title: Training Business Development Manager
Salary / Package: £25,000-£35,000 (Potential OTE of £40,000 - £50,000)

In other words even management pay is low but could double if they achieve On Target Earnings. Do you think that drives a focus on the customer's needs or fleecing them for courses they don't really need?
