We all would be fools to let the 1500 rule be changed or removed.
A national academy would never happen politically. There are already too many college level aviation programs at state universities that have at least two Senators to protect them in each state, plus a number of Congressmen. The best chance you have at something like this is to link all of these Aviation Programs under the FAA, which from what I understand is already happening with the approval of each program for the Restricted ATP.
