Where do all these big airline pilots come from if not for spending tens of thousands of dollars on GA training?
Military. MOST do not come from flying around crop dusters...
Not necessarily true! Maybe 20 years ago but nowadays it's probably only around 30% of all recruitment.
SIU has a program. Costs almost as much as med school. Buddy of mine was in it. Got a ton of debt. Ended up (and still is) flying for some South American charter. Says every time he applies for a US carrier they pick a military guy or a minority. He is in 73's
Happened to me quite a lot, although I no longer fly. Most of my flying career was spent overseas and I have NO idea how I was able to obtain two ATPs , various validations, several type ratings from B737NG, B767 and classic 747 and fly cargo and pax on all continents except S. America but was not good enough for an interview with any US legacy carriers because I did not have a buddy there! Sure, we are all "equal opportunity" employers! But some are more equal than others...........good news was I never had ANY pilot training debt because I did not play that game. I just got experience overseas and flew some pretty interesting aircraft as well as some nice international layovers in places not a lot of people go to.
She would reduce the burden on airlines and ATC by simply refusing service to Mexicans, muslums, leberals, catholics, LGBT folks and anyone who isn't from her USA or white.
THINK of how much of a load THAT would take off ATC!
I DON'T TRUST THIS ADMINISTRATION TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT...
DONALD;
Please keep you tiny hands off our ATC.
They smell like the pier, anyway!
