The airlines are in the driving seat when it comes to pilot training requirements. They provide the market, hence dictate the quality of the product. The airlines provide 94% (?) of CASA's and AsA's operating funds in a climate where the customer is always right. CASA can't get an updated set of regulations published. There's no need. The airlines don't need them and GA makes up such a miniscule economic input to CASA's coffers that to work on updating regs seems like throwing a huge capital expense at an area that has little economic return. Two private entities run the entire industry.
Wasted writing...I know, but IMO, the demand for quality pilots has to be encouraged. To this extent, ditch many of the RPT regs limiting route operations to specific companies and open the skies to effective competition. But first CASA needs to get the regs in order.
