In my opinion the FBO should NEVER dispatch keys to anyone other than

confirmed to be present and supervising.


That's what happened in this case, the keys were given to the PIC (the
student pilot). He wasn't schedule (nor did he need ) a CFI. You are
suggesting that the student have to pay for a CFI to come to the
airport before every one of his solos? I don't drive out to the
airport unless I'm schedule to fly, I'm not driving out to the airport
to watch someone hand the student keys.
What would you do for students who own their own planes?
