The schools that can understand the CASA regs specifically in relation to Parts 141, 142 and especially 61 will be the winners. If they can also get hold of a good regulatory compliance manager who knows the regs inside and out to handle CASA, then the organisation should be able to survive.

Based on the projected number of new pilots that will be required globally over the next 10 years (half a million was quoted in one journal recently) there will be no shortage of work. However, the quality of training is starting to become a major concern given the ever increasing number of accidents that have been caused by basic pilot handling errors. Sadly a large majority of the new CPL holders theses days don't really have a lot of good stick and rudder skills unless they have flown a tail wheeled aircraft or done aerobatics. As a result CASA should also make it mandatory that all CPL trainees undergo some form of upset training before being issued with a CPL.
