Fully agree with you

On the new electric airplanes available right now (or soon to be fully certified I should say for one of them), one has an endurance of 50 min and costs more than petrol competitors, and the other one is way more expensive and still, under 2 hours endurance...

I believe technology will develop rapidly in the coming years but still not yet certain that 100% electric is the way forward. Maybe Hydrogen (I like the prototype that was being developed in the UK but unfortunately crashed landed a month ago without injuries to the crew, I believe)

A balance must be found so training costs do not increase significantly... and the market always finds it!
Only the bold and efficient will prevail
