VFE to be honest that is the sort of narrow response I am coming to expect from you.
I have no vested interest as you point out I neither need the money nor the hours.......... I assure you I can hold my ground when it comes to a log book/licence pissing contest.....
What I do want to see is the furtherment of GA not watch it fade into oblivion through a lack of change. By not fostering change our rights will eventually erode to the point where we will be grounded. Fine for you chaps who want to fly a people tube but not for GA. The regulatory system has been geared towards the CAT world and each forced change is a nail in the coffin for GA.
You may not like my views about hours builders etc. and reading your responses I suspect that is exactly what you are hence hitting a raw nerve? But PPL training is in decline, private ownership is in decline. Those still flying are trying to save money left right and centre and so will not invest in expensive continuation training with school based FI's. Opening up more avenues to access further training can only enhance flight safety. Have continuity in our Instructors can only enhance flight safety.
I am changing things from the inside, or at least trying to. But while people like you stick there heads in the sand and refuse to acknowledge that change needs to happen we continue to the slippery slide.
So how about posting something constructive rather than trying to get into a pissing contest with me little boy?
