It is a volunteer organisation - that doesn't mean compromise on safety but it can't all of a sudden demand 1000 hour minimums with sim checks by an AF FI every year - who will pay for that? And will it actually ensure a higher level of pilot competency?
I would think AF should have an even higher "Duty of care" than the actual pilots. That will no doubt come out in the investigation.
