I don't think it was ever suggested that it wouldn't be a FI conducting these flights.
What the guy was saying is that the flight would have to conform to A to A conditions.
ie
The route has to be standard with Plogs, commercial minimum fuel reserves, alternates etc. 1500ft agl (I think) must be maintained at all times. And forced landings sites must be available on all legs and briefed to pilots. No flying over water at all unless an assesment has been made and min altituded has been specified. And there are wx minimums which are quite alot higher than Flying school ops manuals.
Standardised briefings must be held and plane kitted out with briefing cards.
Maintence must be with a JAR xx whatever the number is organisation.
The pilot/FI must of completed all single crew ops JAR courses. CRM, fire and smoke, first aid etc and keep them current.
The FI must hold an IR or have 500hrs PIC I think, haven't got the CAP to hand that I was working from.
Training must included Line training on routes/plane types to be flown and also LPC/OPC every 6 months. In both seats depending on SOP's.
All crew must follow a FTL scheme, so no more 7x 12hr day weeks during the summer.
And the organisation must be documented, audited etc as per and other airline.
So it is quite different to the "where do you want to go?" "step through here for a quick brief about what we are going to do"
I quite agree it shouldn't be the norm for anyone other than a FI to teach a Ex3. BUt as you can see from the above it dosn't leave much lee way for FI's/ CFI's to abuse the system or the FI's be forced into situations they arn't happy with. Unlike the current situation.
