Why is Soaring declining

That's due to deficiency in the training. With the right instruction, someone
can transition in 2-3 flights from a 2-33 to a G103...I've seen it done many
times.

Agreed. I started in a 2-33 and now fly an LS6, but you've got to watch
the student. You can tell a student not to do something because it's a
bad habit, but if the student (especially post solo) sees that it works
in a 2-33 - and does it, he'll have to unlearn it later.
