'via Blog this'
Re-Blogging this from "The Cranky Flier." I blogged about these new requirements and the impending pilot shortage last year (The Upcoming Pilot Shortage...... Made Worse by the Federal Government, July 25. 2012). In my humble opinion, it is not just the "small city air service," which will suffer, but everyone. We (taxpayers) already spend billions subsidizing "small city air service." Hey, if you live in or near a city or town that cannot sustain a profitable air carrier service, and you really need it, then perhaps its time you thought about moving or seeking another form of transportation.
In any case, what the author of this says is correct. No one is going to pay over 100K to learn how to fly AND then build up 1500 hours just to make 22K per year. Government is always about the good intentions, but never considers the unintended consequences or the actual outcome of their legislation. As long as everyone "feels good," and that they are least "doing something," then the outcome doesn't matter.
Just sayin.....
