"more attention to the development of "core competencies"
Lets keep the technobabble out of instructing. Whilst pilots need hours they will instruct for nothing, the professional instructor is something of a myth because we cannot afford them; even the military can't afford them any more. Simple economics establishes the status quo.
It would be far more productive to conduct a meaningful training analysis for future pilot training; unless we establish what a pilots needs to know, we will never get the teaching right.
