Me too. That's why I suggested that the FAA only have a handful of training facilities with "X" amount of training position available to those that show the abilities. There should be an elimination process (we all know HR at the regionals doesn't cut it) for those that aren't good enough....like it used to be.

I think I worded it incorrectly before because you got all over me about university flying vs. non-university. That wasn't my point (not your fault). My point was that, regardless of where we put them, the FAA needs to create a 121 training program before the best of the best even gets to the airline. Not just some random PTS that can be subjective at best and pass / fail being dependent on how many boats the DE needs to pay for that month.
