mmatalla,
You are right about a regulator setting minimum standards. The JAA/EASA do enforce mininmum standards which are set pretty high! You will find this if you go for JAA/EASA acreditation.
Good authorities will enforce these "high" minimum standards and will take action if those standards are ignored or allowed to slip.
Flying Training minimum standards have to be high and enforced, because of the consequences of not doing so.
Does CARC set high minimum standards and does it enforce them?
Could you name me some "not so good schools" in the UK that meet JAA requirements? There may be some poor school in some developing countries, because high minimum standards are not enforced!
In short having high minimum standards, which are enforced gives the student protection against Flying Schools doing what they please!
