The industry has already decided the better investment is better planes not better pilots. Thats why they put gadgets in the planes that even the most distracted pilots once who don't crack the book ever to get the plane from point a to b. There are still cases of pilot error and that will just continue until they get rid of the pilots altogether. Getting better pilots I don't think enters into the equation. I fly with few people who can even plan a decent anymore without the FMS.
