I dont understand your point.
I know you will be aware of the proposed CBM-IR fees - why wouldn't the training industry lap up these proposals. I know you will also know the cost of the FAA IR theory. There is no proven case that the theoretical content for private pilots is necessary or justified and the bloated costs add insult to injury. It is unjustified day light robbery. I wouldnt mind if it could be justified on safety grounds.
