All that happens is the government throws money at schools who produce an increasing supply of pilots with the barest minimums of skills, instead of making VET loans available for existing pilots to upskill. CASA keep approving these places to operate and so the gravy train keeps chuffing along. There is a massive amount of taxpayers' money being funnelled into a select few pockets and it's not likely to change..
A follow-the-bouncing-ball CPL course in a capital city is not good preparation for these sorts of ops but these days seems to be the only option available to a lot of trainees.
The EFATO turn back never ends well. I hope they all make a full recovery.
