I have a lot of friends that work in D.C. for the FAA, and in the House and Senate. HR3371 will not make it to law. The ATA and RAA are big money players in this card game. The FAA boss even stated that he wasn't in favor of HR3371. I think the introduction of the MPL will happen long before HR3371 sees the light of day. That's what the ATA and RAA wants. ALPA is also in favor of the MPL. Unless there is change, there will be a pilot shortage; due to disparaging wages not the shortage of pilots. We'll see the same thing we saw in 2007 and early 2008; pilot factories spitting out 90 day wonder pilots will low time and little experience to fill the void.
