I think supply and demand is another issue that is affecting us all. Too many CPL's are being pumped out for employers to pick and choose from. If obtaining this licence was made a little harder then the masses of UGALs (Unemployed GA Losers) would diminish and over a period of time which would eventually lead to some form of "shortage".
I just think that the current system feeds the problem. Is it a coinicidence?
A good topic - good to see the debate staying clean.
