Just heard Mr. Cohen on the radio scare mongering people into thinking that they are going to lose their airline service out of medium sized cities like "Santa Barbara, Tallahassee," etc etc. and that the gummint should help young people become pilots instead of "burdening them with excessive regulations" or some BS like that.
There is no shortage of qualified pilots. There is a shortage in qualified pilots willing to work for 20k a year with 9 days off a month on reserve in a city that changes every 6months and burdened with $100K in flight training with no viable or secure economic future.
