A pilot passing a CPL today would not have passed a PPL 10 or 15 years ago

* No minimum hours for instructing - I believe it should be >750hrs.
* No adequate supervision by CFI's
* Many sequences not taught as the instructor did not get taught it (too windy for x/w circuits!!!) yeah!
* No regular checks of students by CFI or A/CFI to test product
* CASA fails to understand what they have to regulate and FOIs don't do enough flying/tests.
* CASA fails to check CFIs and senior instructors and fails to apply appropriate standardisation
* Too many flying schools approved to do >CPL training = reduced standards
A bunch of wild opinions, factually incorrect, and deliberately made as dramatic as possible.

"No minimum hours for instructing" - In which universe is that ?
And as for the headline statement, what a load of old cobblers.

It's a wind up.
