Its frustrating because all I want is an opportunity. 20k for the apt course after july is really expensive for a person like myself. Too bad I don't come from a rich family but I will get the written done and see what happens. Not here to complain so I will let you guys get back to real issues other than the 1500 atp.
I think you're on to something. It's becoming a rich kid's game. And if there aren't enough rich kids to fill seats, major airlines will reclaim outsourced flying with larger planes and less frequency. Regionals will liquidate, and the ones that can do more with less will survive.
I think we're in for some big changes at AMF as well, DFW HQ is just the start. On the other hand, I think it is, and always will be for most a "stepping stone" on the way to something bigger.
