One thing GA can rejoice in, and it's good at this, is the inevitable failure of some of the schools that used this scheme. Rejoice in the failure of your brothers and sisters, their lost jobs, the lost investment in new and refurbished aircraft, the local hardware that sold 70k of building materials, the extra full time jobs and part time jobs in a struggling small town, the local LAME getting a bit of extra work.
Once you've put down the violin, did you ever stop to consider the numerous negative impacts this scheme generated from schools that used Vet Fee Help income to subsidise unsustainable bids on charter contracts? Which undermined the GA industry around them? No different to scumbag operators crewing with paid ICUS.

I'm sorry if legitimate businesses hedged their entire source of income on this cash cow, but all the long standing small schools that got sunk because they did not, or could not offer vet fee help training won't be sorry to see it go. Nor will the charter companies that got undercut by it either.
