I guess the magenta line pilots are trying to make everything mechanical, no pilot skills required.
The downward spiral of flight instructor competency started long before the magenta line came into the cockpit.
The cause for the downward spiral is really not that difficult to determine.
First there is a regulator that is stuck in the cave man era of intelligence with their only agenda being growing their bureaucracy to protect their income to their graves.
Second is the ass backwards thinking that pilots start their flying careers by becoming flight instructors to build time to fly in regular commercial operations. What cretin thought up that scenario?
Third is the domino effect that a poor flight instructor will have on all the new instructors they teach .......it has to go downward over time.
