CPL training in an RAA aircraft and your first job is in a C210 in remote NT?

Have to think about that one.

If a RAA flight school wants to train to CASA CPL standard with AOC and Ops Manuals and FOI audits....why would you want to submit yourself to such regulation? Unless....you want to capitalise on the streams of money that wannabes expend on the dream.

Sidetrack on this argument...whats more important...training wannabe jet jockeys or developing a base of consumers that actually spend discreationary dollars in the aviation economy. I would say more people who want to spend money on their passion/hobby/sport for their entire life.

There is nothing wrong with RAA training. It's just not to the standard expected of an operator who uses aeroplanes for hire or reward. If the standard is raised...it is no longer recreational!
