Of course the answer to the ski instructor analogy is that they don't have low time instructors who have only just learned to ski, they don't allow foreigners (in France) to instruct and they protect the wages of the ESF (Ecole Ski Francaise) so they can make a decent living out of their profession.
Perhaps a structure for the CAA to consider
I think you are 20 years out of date in your facts there Crab (some might say...again!)
Example:
| British Alpine Ski and Snowboard School
A case of EU laws working for the Brits! The ESF protectionism was broken many years ago...they still hate it but tough titty.
