I'm wondering if all this dumbed down training and the crop of "docile" training aircraft aren't setting up those produced in this manner for a serious 'fall'.
What happens when one of the currently being trained crop manages to get their hands on a not designed to be docile aircraft. They may be lucky enough to get into a Tiger Moth, a Chippy or a Texan. Heaven forbid they ever get enough money to own and fly a Mustang or a Spitfire
What happens then with all their wing drop training in a docile training aircraft. Even if they never manage to get into one of these sorts of aircraft.
I imagine their initial twin training will be a very steep learning experience and come as some what of a shock to their 'docile' aircraft handling knowledge, that's if they even understand what is actually happening.
I expect it will be a few years before we will know.
