I disagree in part with point 3. Not all new pilots are becoming instructors or going to airlines, and there's no way of telling who will and who won't. While there may be an argument for doing the CPL test in an LSA, there will still be a requirement for pilot training to be conducted, at least in part, on bigger, heavier aircraft. That is what the charter companies are flying in the NT, and that's where a lot of pilots go for that coveted first job.
