To just get qualed to be a basic PI with no checking authority you have to run through the transition course do your OE then come back observe a full transition course being taught, teach a transition course under observation. Same for all of the other training events. The whole thing takes time.
They are already behind the power curve.
I agree with the LCA comment too.
Right, unless they have no intention of replacing the retiring pilots.
