I just want to chime an opinion in about the funding problem. This is a hindsight is 20/20 perspective and rhetorical more than anything because it is a very sensative topic for me, personally. Flight schools such as ATA, TAB Express, and Silver State Helicopters who hustled their unsuspecting students out of loans, hence through litigation screwed the banks out of millions was a major contributing factor for the aviation training funding to go away. Key Bank was a major loan provider for aviation training. They got burned too many times, and now are no longer in the aviation finance business. Two cents worth, complete.
