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.
No! I believe the US is very good at implementing plans, procedures, and wishlists without knowing if or how it will work. The US is also very good at implementing regulations and taxes in which is helping to drive aviation into irrelevancy in this country. Many developing countries are taking the bull by the horns and buying US businesses and whatever support products and staff needed to accomplish their goals. I am not a hater because I have seen this movie before starring other US industries from the 1970's.
