You are missing the point here. You are right that experienced PPL's could potentially make better instructors than 300 hour CPL hours builders......the problem is the last I heard was that the proposal was for PPL's with 200 hours. What's more the 200 hour PPL is just as likely to be an hours builder as a 200 hour CPL. The difference is the base level of knowledge and quality of structured training each has been through.

This amounts to an inevitable drop in standards. After all it is the minimum standard required that will set the benchmark.

The only winners here will be the flying schools who will be able to justify lower wages. Instructors and students will lose out.
