"The need of the hour is to produce more capable, young aviators and get them to the fleet faster and more efficiently.

feel like their brothers and sisters need assistance. on the other hand, they have a humanitarian heart, we empathyself with what is going on at the border, it does not take away the responsibility to protect aviation domain. they know that they need to be back in the air and need to be flying, we re at the busiest travel point within our nation right now, the busiest season, and you don t have air marshals on planes. carley: such a good points, we are in the busiest travel period of the year. your organization wrote a letter to president biden, have you heard back? do you expect to? we have not heard back, we wrote him another letter over the weekend because we have a level three and level four incident. level four means they tried to breach the cockpit, level threen moos life-threatening behaviors.
