I was wondering how long it would take for the military card to be played. de727ups got it right. If ERAU or AllATPs scrutinized their students at the same level as the US military, then they would have 5% of the students that they do now, and the cost would be much more than the $70-whatever grand. Just because you can write the check, it doesn't mean you can fly the plane. Those schools make more money off the substandard students. The substandard students fly a desk in the military. As a tax payer, I expect to get my money's worth.
FWIW, the truck driving school brochures were at the door of our tactics training room. That was motivation.
