I read the same article and while i agree with you that he wasnt real thrilled about the 225 hour pilot I dont think it was as bad as you mentioned. I think his main focus was more of awareness to the fact that people are spending upwards of $100,000 and only coming out with the three hundred hours or so. I was more under the impression that while he didnt like these pilot factories he also wasnt completely against them since they are becoming a larger part of the whole training picture. I think you took just a little bit too much of a grim view but hey to each his own. By the way thats always the first article I read is from les, great stories every month.
