When we (the Taxpayers) bailed out the Airlines during the Pandemic instead of using that to keep their employees on the payroll they pushed many into early retirement and stopped classes as they told schools they won't be hiring. Why did they use that money for early retirement packages and stock buybacks when they were supposed to use it to keep the employees paid during the Pandemic while keeping pilots and other employees on hold.

Some flight schools, have restricted hrs ur doing another program besides going to flight school getting a degree in aviation or another field so ur good with 1000hrs of flight instructing or any other method of building flight time to then apply for regional airlines.
