X, I don't think we would have to or should give up anything for the change. Language should read, SLI instructors must be able to hold the aircraft they teach on, with the exception being new type aircraft to DL, for a certain time period. Re, able and most qualified I would think that the majority of our pilots have taught and were most qualified in the civilian and military world. Should be cost neutral.
If you are referring to the DGS world, that ship has already sailed. I guess we will agree to disagree.
