I agree. We need to look out for those who would dream to become pilots and are still too young to know better than to take on irresponsible debt.
But, I don't think solely looking to 21 y/o recent college grads is the right safety decision. The industry should be working to attract pilots from other areas of aviation (charter, military, corporate...) and second-career professionals.
