How many servicemembers would want to become airline pilots after the service?

Alright RP Nation, the good idea fairy has struck again.

I reference this article and it should give you some insight as to what the current demand will be. This is a multifaceted problem, however, in light of the crash that happened in Buffalo, lawmakers in Washington have made it more difficult than ever to become an airline pilot, and the costs are only going to skyrocket.

This is a jab at the Hollywood Marines, but how many times did you catch yourself watching the birds take off at San Diego, and think "Man that d be a sweet gig to go and fly."

Just like it took political pressure in Washington to enforce new standards that have relatively little effect on the ability to enhance the aircrew safety (I am living proof of this-that Colgan crash in Buffalo had nothing to do with aircrew hiring minima), it will take political pressure from them understand what the current issue is and how to solve it.

What I am trying to do is garner support from all members, past present and those going in, to see what the interest is in becoming an airline pilot. We get enough support this is something we can present to everyone, airlines, the NBAA (an organization for corporate operators), and the FAA/NTSB. Change starts with a single step, and I am asking for your help.
