TNIP, you make it look as if every school wanted a slice of this pie! Some schools just aren't interested in that kind of training. I most certainly wasn't. Especially when talking to colleagues about the attitudes of some of the students who had got the "free" money and now wanted the effortless CPL. I'd rather teach people who have gone out and earned it themselves.
The only involvement I have ever had or ever wanted in that kind of bulk training is to cross hire my aircraft to people who were doing it, COD only as it was only a matter of time before the administrators moved in.
So Tnip, don't assume that anyone who wasn't doing it was "sitting on the sidelines complaining" far from it, but it DID create a very uneven playing field in the full time Integrated CPL market (training I don't do) and it DID lead to an unrealistic market which is now coming crashing down and will mean the loss of jobs - again - for a lot of good people.
Where did all that money go?
