It seems crazy that individual airlines are responsible for pilot training rather than a nationally regulated body. This means that successful well funded airlines like Southwest are safer than budget airlines like Spirit, since they would have more money to devote to proper pilot training. But obviously this isn’t how it should work - regardless of which airline you fly, your safety should be held to the same high bar. Why then are airlines responsible for pilot training?
