Plenty of others like Phil Boyer are concerned about student pilot license statistics. It is true that there are plenty of CFI's that go unused however maybe it is because they got tired of wasting their Saturdays waiting for students that do not exist anymore? It is obvious that there are too many instructors in America and not enough students to go around.

GA is mostly populated by baby boomers or older. Once they are gone GA as we knew it will go with them. There is no one left to follow except for 90,000 flight instructors with nothing to do.

We all should enjoy these gas prices.
