How the hell do you justify putting through 700-800 student pilots a year?!?!?!?
I can see many a Air traffic controller growing many a grey hair reading that!!
I get the impression that it's another one of those stories where you can make the statistics say what you want to say... Could it just be that in the survey, more of the older pilots responded... suppose you have to find something to do while sitting at FL350...
We just need another SARS or Sept 11, and they won't be shedding pilots quick enough!!!!!
Thanks for posting that Sqwark... bout time we had a bit of humour posted on the board..
