If you're a journalist your piece would be better off highlighting to the general public the pay to fly issue and the degradation of experience and T's & C's which is making the sky an undeniably less safe place to be. Also the plight of experienced pilots who can no longer find work because of the 200 hour cadets willing to prostitute themselves for less pay than they'd receive at their local McDonalds.
I agree with most of what's written here however I do not think the skies are any less safe because of the degradation of experience. Tell me Rex old son, were you not once a 200 hour hero straight out of Oxford? Pay to fly/Oxford hot shot, what's the difference?
