BIK whatever,
I would strongly recommend you peruse ICAO Annex 1, before you start suggesting that anything that isn’t “The Australian Way” is fraudulent.

The UK practice ( and Australian before one single person in then DoA got his nickers in a twist about P1S/ICUS) and JAA, and quite a number of counties in the Australian neighborhood all essentially follow ICAO.

Australia is the only country which makes it almost impossible for a young ( cadet course type) pilot to accumulate the 1500 hours including the required command time ( made up of P1 and P1S/ICUS) for An ALTP/ATPL.

The whole Australian (current) way of logging hours puts Australian pilots starting their careers at a very serious disadvantage in the international job market.

Then again who would propose minimum experience requirements for “Public Transport” that means that a new CPL cannot even do a daylight VFR sightseeing flight, as is proposed in the lunatic Part 121A/B

Tootle pip!!
