What a difference a month makes....
I don't understand what you are getting at. My position is unchanged. If someone has already blown their money on college and pilot licenses then you might as well throw your hat in the ring for a time if nothing more than to say that you did it.
However if you have not even started training yet then save your money and invest it someplace else.
Out side of that the profession has taken a nose dive in the last 30 days. Most likely a new pilot would need to wait a few years for even a chance to apply at most regionals and I don't think it is worth that.
