They will just be forgiven eventually anyway... Right????
Never happen. All the PIs would have to scab as well because the FAA certified the instructors as well as the training program. So you'd have to rely on this management training 12,000 new pilots with new instructors, when they can barely train the ones they have using experienced and qualified instructors.
The airline would go away before it could train anybody.
