To any low time, direct entry applicants:

Any program that allows such low time entries only serves to undermine the
entire aviation industry. NO OTHER REAL PROFESSION would ever allow this into their ranks. Do you honestly believe the American Dental Association would allow yourself to be called a Dentist with zero experience??? NO WAY. They would kill the concept because it would demean what it means to be a Dentist.
Managment knows that if you continue to ease the entry process of becoming a pilot, there will never be a pilot shortage. There will be legions of low skilled pilots ready to come online very quickly should the need arise. This allows wages to be kept shamefully low by their controlling of the supply. In time, you will see this come to fruition, but for now, understand that low time applicants are killing this industry.
