Actually, the Sport Pilot has more privileges in many ways...unlimited
cross country flight (with one-time logbook endorsement), able to talk
to ATC (with endorsement). Still plenty of mischief to be had. And the
20 hours FAA minimum sems awfully low to me, as a CFI.

The CFI still is the one to keep teaching until the student is ready to go
to the examiner. Just like now, few are ready after only 40 hours.

Plus the insurance companies can force higher standards.
