If you're "recently one of those low-timer CFI types", you are too young and inexperienced to know anything about the past. Readers Digest version; in the late 80's ASA and Comair had this great idea called Pay for Training (buy a job) for 250hr wonders whose ink had not even dried on their tickets. We used to have paper certificates. This buying a job and working for $10 an hour killed this industry at the Regional level and did little for the Majors. Then in the mid 90's, Delta's Senior pilots rammed through a contract for a huge pay raise that gave the RJ's to Comair and ASA and others at the expense of Junior Delta pilots, who got pink slips instead of a pay raise.



Where do I sign?

Heck, I was recently one of those low-timer CFI types. And I STILL thought this legislation was a fantastic idea. Granted, I'm no longer in a CFI position... but the point stands.
