Not really such a good idea Dick, The number of check flights required to keep crews and training personnel up to the requirements of Part 61 is already unsustainable for any company with a mixed fleet, with cross endorsed pilots.

All CAsA would do to ensure their bonuses would be to increase the number of checks per year. You'd have GA aircraft flying a thousand hours a year doing checks and 100 hours per year doing revenue flights. That's if your crew have had at least the past week off before the check, and get the week after the check off as well to meet the new CAO48 rules.
