Students are being taught by 200 hour total time pilots whose only goal in life is to put hours in their own log book to get the bigger better job.

Why do instructors get paid so little??? because of all those @%#@ pilots out there working for free or next to nothing, again just to get those hours

How can CASA increase the training quality? How about increasing the award?
(If D.Smith is reading maybe this is a REAL subject worth your push!)
This would make instructors more valuable, therefore raising the bar.

And before you try and lecture me on being bitter, I have nothing to gain from this, I have never tried to make a living from instructing,(and phopefully never will) I live in the real world! But having an in-experienced instructor sure makes passing check flights easier!
