In fact next year we are going back to the situation that existed in the UK pre 90s where PPL FIs were remunerated and hour built until they could obtain a CPL with 700 hours. The restriction was that both the instructor and student had to be a member of the same flying club. We still have a few BCPL holders who date from that era. My understanding is that the UK CAA, probably allied with France, pushed to return to that situation with opposition coming from elsewhere in Europe.
