Just look at many of the foreign carriers. GA is so limited that there is very little civilian base for the airlines to hire from (and not enough military pilots to fill the need). Therefore, these airlines are forced to hire off the street people who are not even pilots yet.
NOPE. This causes airlines to fly with less pilots which means no more small RJs. So sad I know. It also makes start up carriers less likely to succeed. This is also sad huh?
In reality what Rhino suggests will ultimately lead to job security and and better pay. O ya and more than likely safer skies
