I couldn't agree more. A few years ago anyone with 100k could go in and buy this job. This job is for those who love aviation and do what they need to do and make the sacrifices they need to make to obtain it. This is not a job someone should be able to buy their way into. If you want it, if you REALLY want it, you will flight instruct, fly cargo, or whatever it takes to get your 1500 hours. If you are not willing to do that and dont want to put the time and dedication and experiece into it then I dont want you sitting next to me.
