Professional Instructors
I really cannot believe that having a dedicated Instructor Rating should affect anyone other than those who are not really bothered to do and know the job well.
Any qualification required by law should not be to protect anyones interest other than the recipients training. It certainly should not be designed to provide a path to other things.
However, should a potential 'Airline Pilot' believe that it is in their interest to gain an 'Instructor Rating' , building hours and life experiences to enhance their chances to find work such as flying a Heavy Transport then thats OK with me.
But! Why the hell should someone who wishes to instruct be it full time or part time - for that is a choice - have to first qualify to be a 'Heavy Aircraft Public Transport Pilot', as now? That makes no sense.
As to a regime; selection of the right types of chaps to be Instructors. God forbid that the Stalinist/Social Elite, those who advocate that they know best, should be allowed to vet the types of people who should be Instructors. No! No! What a disaster that would be.
