It's happened before, on many different types. People do not want to learn.
I'd suggest people DO want to learn but often do not know what they do not know. Private Equity owners and champion Equestrians don't know what they are doing with flight training and don't want to invest the money when they just see another pilot that will "rip us off and leave as soon as the airlines call" or words to that effect.
The industry needs to develop a training program to build our capacity. It needs to bear the "authority" of CASA or ATSB; it needs to be credible and non-partisan.
Some in Government say to me it's up to Industry and "the Market" to sort this out but in our little corner of the world there are too many petty jealousies and historical rivalries for that to work.
CASA needs to provide leadership while there are still some in that organisation who know what that looks like.
