As I mentioned above. Majority of the companies want an IFR rated Pilot for VFR work. Check some of the Causes as to these crashes. Its the same throughout the industry. Put some pressure on something to get money in return. Where do you think the pressure goes...
I wouldnt be so quick to jump on the FAA, the rules are out there. The FAA are regulatory, not criminal investigators.
Problems like this most always end up in Civil Court.
