More regulation would be nice, but who can do it? The FAA already has 141 certification. But we have all seen how some FSDO's are QUITE lax with the 141 schools in their district. Who else out there will regulate the industry? One of the great parts of the industry is that it is for the most part, unregulated. That means anyone with a plane, the proper insurance, and a CFI can start a school. On of the worst parts of the industry is that anyone with a plane, the proper insurance, and a CFI can start a school!
There are some great schools out there. There are some really bad schools. Sometimes, it seems that the schools with all of the marketing dollars (and hence more students) tend to be the not-so-good schools!
