Yep I'm aware - my question about the ATOs upthread was somewhat rhetorical.
If the airlines were still responsible for training their own from ab-intio we would not be where we are now- i.e. the ATOs being stand alone businesses are not going to stop training, they have absolutely no interest in anything other than selling courses...
