years ago I went to a well known ATPL course and we did all the theory with the military blokes and birds who wanted to get a job in the airlines,and they were obviously so much better trained.l came away from there thinking that I had wasted my fifty odd grand and that the training I had recieved was s#%* house.
I really think that what we all recieve in GA is well below what we should be recieving,but again if an instructor is not getting paid for it ,and only for the flying hours why should he give a f#%*
And quite frankly until till the gimps in canberra get thier act together not a lot will change they will still look out for the weekend worriors in thier microlights who will soon be able to rock into international airports unannounced.
thats my two bobs worth anyway.
