Pilot Training College of Ireland: Discussion

1:30 pm

-----and that the way had been smoothed in terms of cost and so forth, but it absolutely was not. There was no arrangement. When we went to the Atlantic Flight Training Academy in Cork, the academy agreed to conduct things on a pay-as-you-go basis. That was its decision. There was no payment or compensation paid other than the cost of the flights and, as the IAA stated, protecting the flight records which it is important to protect. I return to the point that we do not believe PTC, in normal circumstances, should have been allowed to continue to operate as it did. Essentially, it was using our money to fund its losses, activities and expansion.
