Note that I said "will be eager beavers lined up".

Today, foreigners in training. Sure. Very few people who can actually research the career would choose to pump a lot of time or money in it now.

But, in a few years, should there even be a REAL hint of a shortage of people who won't work for $18,000/yr, they'll line up... to work for $18k.

Heck, we'll have Indians, Chinese, and Russian pilots here.
