LTCs and TREs, stop doing training

Can't see that happening. You lot weren't looking out for the next breed of FO's when you took this offer so why should experienced guys who didn't buy a job ( or attempt to) put their neck on the line for you?
Unless something major changes in this industry, there are always going to be newbies willing to take a punt on getting a job through pay to fly schemes.

The more airline recruiters devalue and dismiss experience gained via the "traditional routes" the worse it will get. After all why instruct/fly TPs for crap money when all you will get from from jet operators is "have you got 500 hours on type, never mind, that will be £xx,000 for your rating then".

Similarily, LTC's and TRE's will never stop training because if they do, their employers will soon find someone else who will.

Line captains won't refuse to fly with cadets for the same reason.

Management and the schools, too much cash to be saved/made.

BALPA can't do anything but campaign.

The CAA, well why would they get involved, no ones died yet and there isn't a processing fee involved.

I could go on and on, but that's the problem with aviation, it's always someone elses problem.....
