IF our goal really is SAFETY, then better training may be a reasonable trade off. At my company, stall training events, for example, have changed from basically recovering from
slow flight to actual
stall recovery.
I want more money, but at the end of the day, I want to go home in one piece, and I want the guy/gal next to me to be up to snuff. And higher standards will eliminate some people: eventually higher standards should lead to higher pay.
