Guys the reason the wait times are getting shorter is because they are running out of applicants who have the minimum requirements to apply.
Not true. The reason that CX is going back to the TT option is the extraordinary drain on training resources that a full course cadet has been taking (on average). We are running out of trainers, simulator time and money getting zero-to-hero candidates onto the line.
As an aside, the APTITUDE is another area of concern; failures are off the clock and disciplinary issues at a high.
In short ; we need PILOTS, not MS FS experts.
Get out there guys, and GET A LICENSE, for pity's sake.
