If you think there is a pilot shortage now, imagine what it will be like if/when user fees go into effect. No one will want to pay the exorbitant cost of training just so that they can get a job at a regional where they start at $19/hour. The weird thing is in a perverse selfish way user fees might be a good thing for airline pilot’s jobs (bad for CFI’s) because there will be so few qualified pilots. Something needs to be done to stop this, the Bush administration is out of control!

Don't worry....I'm sure Hillary will fix it. Oh wait, maybe she will use that money to pay for universal health care. At least we have all those billions in the Aviation trust fund.
