"I'd go further and suggest this is why CASA came up with the anomoly in the first place, short sighted industry pressure to sell PA180/TB10/C182 time........"
Nice conspiracy theory. I can just see the men in black wringing their hands cungering up ways to make people buy arrow ratings.
But I see some of what your saying. Lots of the first 150hr courses are starting to spew their product into the job market. But I think that most operators would rather not have the bad eggs and screen them out. After all, an accident will put a small operator under real quick. Anyway there not all bad, just lacking 50-100hours flying time than what you had when you got your CPL. And lets face it 50-100 hours is bugga all. Supervision is the back stop untill 500hours or so.
