Geez, it was just a thought. I’d say there’s some pent up anger around here, you guys need to get out more.
The comment was not specifically for regionals but the profession as a whole. I’m a newbie and even at the Regional level the guys we have representing us now are a lot smarter than I am. I’m suggesting we would be in a more disadvantageous position down the road if a large percentage of pilots only had technical training.

There should only be TA for STEM programs, and that should not be on the taxpayer.
Also, the fact that supply and demand is not a consideration in tuition is a reason it’s so expensive. Without aid it would be more affected by the free market and be more affordable.
