please, not another anti cadet thread lol
The ball is firmly in the Senates court and it will be down to the enquiry to decide.
Either we can go the way of the US which has a similarly robust GA sector. The US currently has an oversupply of pilots and cadets don’t exist because of the 1500 hour rule.
Or we can go the way of the UK where there is an anaemic GA sector but still there is currently an oversupply of pilots because of the prevalence of integrated courses (some of which actually take place in the US because its cheaper there.)

The integrated courses have started to move in and it is now up to the Senate to decide the future direction of aviation training. Let’s hope they do so wisely as the consequences will be far reaching.
