I am not sure if you will find it written. I believe it was a female RJ pilot representing ALPA at the ARC meetings that was advocating a waiver for those that attended schools like Embrey Riddle. I know that the staff at CAPA are familiar with it so call them.

I know I read this in the initial announcement that ALPA backed the committees recommendations. I had a hard time finding it. Perhaps the AP article was "edited" after it was published.
Nonetheless, ask and you shall receive.
