Like it or not the way things are set up these days the training regulations are set up to give TRI/TRE's a nice little part time job earning good money after they have finished flying the line.
They is also a very small but very influential group which all know each other and have old colleagues/squadron mates in the training industry who believe that the integrated pilot is what they want. And they have in the past sabotaged modular intakes to ensure that they are not used.
