I hope they do. It will improve the profession as a whole if more pilots work to reach higher standards. Keep raising the bar until fewer pilots make it over. That's one way of impacting the supply side of the supply/demand curve. Newcomers will look at how hard it is to get into the profession and some won't even start down the path.
