Tin,
You're right.....but I believe that's a GREAT thing! There are way to many flight schools that will just take people's money without regard. If nothing else, raising the minimums will eliminate a lot of people that want to just pay their way through to minimums and start applying. Yes, this will still happen with the richest of the rich but I truly believe it's a GREAT start to eliminating people with more money than sense.
I, very much, want to get back to traditional training methods as a minimum. A four year degree, ATP or Military equivalent......but will settle for something close.
