Thorney,
Exactly,
The short answer is yes.
The longer answer is have a close look at the statistics, the steady improvement in the US over many years, here there is no underlying improvement, the only "improvements" here have come from the collapse in flying hours in some sectors.
And CASA have now put the PIFR out of reach of most PPLs, with just a few seemingly "minor" tweaks to the "rools" --destroying the original and successful in practice PIFR.
