This should make everyone wonder about open skies again. This is yet another case of the rest of the world trying to lower requirements to fly, and the U.S. wants to allow the rest of the world into our system. Maybe if the public knew they could potentially be riding on an aircraft with a pilot that has less time at the controls than their 16 year old has driving cars.
Before you know it they will start selling train at home courses....Flight Sim should suffice!
