The discussion is should we buy secondhand aircraft from Mexico or not?
If we want to train pilots to get their wings then a PC9 is ok but an expensive way to do this. Most pilots get their wings on something with a little less power such as the Cessna C172.
There was a figure given as 2€m, for that money we could easily get 6 new C172 trainers. I know this would really confuse the bean counters as at the same time we want to replace our old C172's with C208's or PC12's. It would blow their minds. But if we want to train pilots then it is a cheaper option.
