I've posted my thoughts previously that the piloting profession needs to change the way it brings pilots into the profession. The posts in this thread highlight my concerns.
If programs are being run like the posters are illustrating, I don't think the program is becoming of an educational institution capable of bringing quality people into the profession.
The piloting profession is in desperate need of cleaning up training institutions. There would be no better way, IMO, than for an accreditation agency composed of industry players to certify and decertify each institution that trains pilots for professional employment and certification.
I think the University Aviation Association does a very good job in this respect. Outside of the universities I am very suspect of the quality of training and applicants.
It sure doesn't seem as though the FAA is interested in this. As members of the professional pilot community...we should be extremely concerned about this.
