I mean c’mon was the R-ATP 1000 hours if done at an “FAA Accredited University” really reduced from 1500 because these educational facilities provide better training to eliminate 500 hours of outside experience needed that the local FBO student is forced to get?

Orrr is it all about raising the profits of these big schools?

After that law was implemented these schools were booming and so did the tuition. After these mainline pathway programs are established I can only expect the tuition to further increase..... but this generation continues to buy into it because they believe they can get to the flight deck faster than an OTS guy, but worry about the 300,000 debt accumulated afterwards.
