Default Auburn program?

[quote=acl65pilot;761469]Not sure that will happen. There appear to be a few clauses in the new language that will allow business to remain as usual. It will kill the little flight schools but allow places like ERAU, UND and Auburn to still churn out pilots and get them to the regionals without an ATP.

I had nearly forgotten about this. Don't really understand what it was about, not wanting to start a flame war regarding universities... but

Had the momma ask me how bad this was going to be for her son, an Auburn grad from their aviation program. Supposedly he got a certified letter from the FAA saying some part of the program at Auburn in '08 was no longer valid. She thinks he will have to retake that part or he was offered the opportunity to "test out of it" with some kind of FAA test.

I had no idea what to tell her, I suggested he ask Auburn for a refund and then changed the subject. The only other information I have is that he is trying to get on with a regional as a pilot. Anybody here know what this Auburn thing is about?
