Here is the bottom line.
People want cheap. Airlines are the most taxed companies in the us. The profit margins are very slim.
Government both state/federal aren't going to give slack to airlines.
This means airlines are going to get pilots to push buttons for cheap. They love regional pilots because they do it for real cheap.
Greaseball guys are always going to crawl out of there instructing job into a 170 and think wow I've made it. Then after a few years of making no money they start to complain , but they don't realize they are part of the problem.
