So he is "clever" and "senile"?
The airline industry started as a dream, a real passion. It is now nothing else than a money industry, and you won't be surprise to learn that Dieter Harms got a company called HARMS AVIATION TRAINING making money by selling MPL around the world.. What a surprise.
You think this "industry" isn't designed to make money? It may not always achieve that end, but I can guarantee you that was, is, and always will be the intention. If this chap is selling his concept around the world, I would hope he is making money from it. Quite an accomplishment for one so "senile" wouldn't you think?
Whatever he may or may not be selling, it is the airlines themselves that are the end users. They obviously see some significant positives in this form of
ab-initio training, even though it shifts additional training burden on to them as end users.
