120feet/troff
Even 400 would equate to more then 1 pilot per day resigning. A lot are leaving but not that many. As for the 159 figure troff, not sure where that's come from. Since the requirement for hours/experience has changed, the number of applicants has changed dramatically. Recent courses are now starting with 14-16 students each week. They need 500-600 this year. With the current rate, they'll achieve that target.....or at least close to it. The 159 would mean only 3 per week. That might have been so last year but now that's simply way out.
