Another indication that it’s all about making it to the airlines. What about just learning to fly?
Agree! Majority of SPs at our flight school are hoping for the airlines. Instructors now are leaving after about a year or so for the Regionals. But we also have a fair amount that are intending to fly for fun and purchasing their own aircraft. Flight school has gone from 3 airplanes to 8 in 2 years. Very busy!
