Why is this bill "stupid"? A lot of people, myself included, KNOW it WILL be the best thing for aviation we've seen in a long time. Creating barriers to entry make the path harder to follow. Only the dedicated will be able to walk the walk. Diminishing the pool of qualified applicants to 121 positions would have an inverse proportional relationship to pay and work rules. It is simple supply and demand. I have already written my state representatives urging them to support this bill. You want pay and work rules for the better? This is step one.
