Flimsy - along with John R81 and others, you have shown that it is too easy to tar everyone with the same brush and make sweeping generalisations about both owners/pilots/businessmen and instructor competence.
You guys clearly have the professional approach to flying which seems to be sadly lacking from quite a few in your 'bracket'.
Not wanting to open the civ vs mil debate again but one of the great advantages we have in mil flying is the supervisory overview and strict currency/competency rules that are imposed on us by our regulators.
No doubt the spectres of cost/infringement of civil liberties/complexity etc would be raised in the event of trying to establish a similar structure for GA.
