Geez, a can of worms has really been opened here...
I couldn't agree more with chimbu. However...
There are already far too many pilots in oz. This stems from the fact that we're one of the cheapest countries to get a pilots license. Any guesses why China Southern and Singapore Flying College are based out of Jandakot? Flying schools are NOT charging enough for flying lessons; this is clearly obvious by the vast number of unemployed pilots. Once a pilot has a CPL, he must work 6-7 days earning next to nothing if he wants to survive. If the schools billed students correctly, pilots would be paid correctly and would gain the respect and conditions they deserve.
In time there would be fewer pilots (not sure if this would be a good thing) resulting in a more sustainable industry. Furthermore instructing would then appeal more to experienced pilots
