If GA is ever recognised as an important part of our essential transport service (which it is. It is essential in 90% of our country) then conditions may improve. When airlines start doing ab initio training, (maybe contracted out) and simualator training for their new pilots so they can have direct entry to airlines, then GA can become the stable industry with properly trained, happy, well paid pilots that it must be.
While it is only considered to be a training ground for tightarse airlines to get new cheap pilots from, then the whole industry (including the airlines) will slowly degenerate.
It's time our airlines put some money back into the system that supplies their new pilots.
