It would seem that when an operator chooses to operate an airplane they are the one that assumes that their specified training is good enough. If you expect Airbus and Boeing etal. to accept risk then you must sign this off somehow.
This comes down to philosophy of regulation, doesn't it? I'd suggest, at this juncture, the fox must no longer be allowed to guard the chickens. The bottom line apparently trumps (if you'll pardon the expression), everything.
