I am guessing Flightsafety is concerned about potential lawsuits in the event of an accident.
Another thought that came to mind concerning Flightsafety,,
I'm wondering how they will do competing for pilots. I suppose they could staff with retired airline pilots, but that might difficult to run a biz with employees that only want to work one day a week.
The retired airline guys used to be common years ago. Why? They retired at 60 and needed a place to work that would provide medical insurance until they qualified for Medicare at 65. Now with the increased retirement age at 121, the guys over 60 are dwindling. I've actually seen instructors dragging along a medical oxygen bottle and cannula when teaching in the sim.
