Isn't it both awesome and awfull that the "smoke and mirrors" agendas of just a few individuals (that had far too much leverage) could destroy two long standing companies in such a short time........ and some of them are still employed there ! 
could destroy two long standing companies
Please stop salivating at the prospect of RACWAs demise.
IT HAS NOT HAPPENED.

Who says anybody is "salivating at Racwa's demise" ???
I said it is "awfull" and due to their own making, very different.
Stop adding what hasn't been said...

A friend of mine just recently took up the recent RACWA offer of a trial instructional flight as he was thinking of getting his PPL after 300+ glider hours and almost completed RAAus Certificate. The Biggles that took him up hogged the controls all the way and told him after the flight that it would probably cost him $24K to get his PPL and none of his previous experience would count. Naturally, he won't be going to RACWA to do his PPL training! No wonder they're in trouble!
Mr Hornet......
And the 'Requirements' for the issue of a PPL are...??
Although I admire the sentiment of your mate's 300+ hrs in Gliders, the
'Requirements' for the VH-Registered Powered Aircraft are...??
And yep - I reckon you are right in the fact that 'Biggles' should have let him Have a 'good go' - providing he was showing some competency.....
But then, how much 'time' is left in a 30min flight after the line-up, take-off and rejoining, preparing for the landing at JT....
Not defending the instructor by any means, just an observation....
Cheers

At least the glider pilot would, at the PPL stage, have been able to do a forced landing into other than "the" one and only forced landing paddock.... 
The instructor nmight have been able to learn something from him.

See below for recognised flight time towards PPL GFPT:
CAR 5.76 What aeronautical experience is required before a student attempts a general flying progress flight test? (1)For the purposes of paragraph 5.75 (3) (a), a student pilot must have the following aeronautical experience:
(a) in the case of a student who wishes to attempt a general flying progress flight test for aeroplanes — at least 20 hours of flight time that includes:
(i) at least 5 hours of flight time as pilot in command; and
(ii) at least 2 hours of instrument flight time
Snip.............Unsnip
(2)The 20 hours of flight time mentioned in paragraph (1) (a) must be flown in a registered aeroplane or a recognised aeroplane.
(3)In spite of subregulation (2), the 20 hours of flight time mentioned in paragraph (1) (a) may include recognised flight time that was flown in a helicopter, gyroplane, glider, power‑assisted sailplane or group A ultralight.
A couple of hours circuits at JT, then two hours instrument flying (which you can't do in GFA/RAAus) and he would be almost ready flying wise. Theory exams wouldn't be to much of a problem, he's a bright boy!

How is the ICU patient (WAAC) doing ?
Does it need some "heavenly intervention" first to justify pulling it through ??
