It's the cost of the CTP itself, both in instructor time, and sim time. If OO can bring in 10 pilots without needing to pay for those costs, they are money ahead.
But will they be money ahead in the long run? Chip plays the long game. If he thinks paying for a CFI to go through CTP will have a pilot around for 5 years instead of 3 years those costs are amortized with less training overall.
Anyone here is just speculating on what is going to happen long term. The chips will fall where they do, and no amount of stressing will change that. This whole upheaval is just part of the game, and some will not be cut out for it, while others will thrive in the ups and downs.
new news in an unknown time in the future.
