The system over here is to give monopolies to folk: Licensing of aerodromes - Can't get on a L.F.? then you can't teach) Transport Cat Cof As - Want to teach? must be on Public then - Oh and you'll have to take it to an approved Maintenance facility for it's CofA renewal rather than an IA as in the US . Therefore, in the name of safety, organisations have to be set up and since they are charged a fortune for the priviledge, they not unnaturally want to protect their investment and hence resist any change that could jeopardise their market position...
I think it boils down to this 'User must Pay' nonsense
