Can you cite any studies that support your claim?
Nope, no studies but you're full of crap if you honestly believe that. My study is what I have witnessed with my own 2 eyes. Aviation college types can struggle just as bad. The NPRM was also heavily influenced by the universities that have the money to go lobby, joe blow flight school can't do that and make a dent in anything.
