I though AAG was watching spending?
Not saying this will happen but I think it’s possible. I still believe ideally AAG wants the 3 WO’s to be single type certificates.

Everyone has apps out dude, if they want us they can have us but it’s crickets for 90% of pilots at the regional level.

Classes need to be 9 people per month going forward to stave off attrition and flow.
