Sullenburger Steps up to the Plate for Pilots
Sullenburger apparently did what many desired:
He used the spotlight as an opportunity to increase public awareness of the declining incentives to be a professional pilot.
Below is a link I was directed to from an AOPA email.

It is the truth and we as a profession need to limit people's entry to this job. We can start by not allowing a MPL (Multi-pilot license) to be issued in this country.

Please excuse my ignorance, but how in the heck is prohibiting people from getting a muti-engine rating going to help the industry? I'm a little confused. How would a pilot gain experience to get on with an airline if they didn't have a multi-engine rating? Am I missing something?
