This is certainly going to affect a few AOC holders - there will be CPL payoffs.

There is now no point in having an AOC - OPCs/LPCs, insurance, audits, aircraft on commercial maintenance programs, CAA AOC fees, Class 1 medicals, paying CPLs etc etc.

From long experience I can tell you that the public don't read 1% of what's on a website including Ts&Cs etc - they will see "£57 to location X" and almost nothing more certainly no caveats and restrictions - many PPLs are in for a serious shock when dealing with many of their passengers. Even seasoned, highly experienced, long in the tooth charter pilots will tell you that dealing with pax pressure is the hardest part of the job and the biggest issue Chief Pilots worry about with young, new CPLs

Permit to fly, PPL and 63 hours and your good to go - aviation hits a new high !

PS, good luck with your own personal "tripadvisor" page
