So my question is: Is the United States ready for the draw down of foreign flight training? We need to stop kicking the can down the road.
The head of the college program I was teaching in a couple of years ago went to China working on a contract and told us (instructors) we could go to China for a 3 year contract, instruct there at $75,000 a year housing included, and be guaranteed a job with a Chinese national carrier when the contract was included. Job offer would be flying a heavy cargo config based in LA.
