I must admit that there was a bit of a panic over that congressional bill last week here at Embry-Riddle. Yet some people higher up at the university here sent out emails emphasizing that some schools like ERAU would get exemption from the mandatory ATP rule. How many of us believed it would make any difference is still up in the air.

I'm a first year student, and I probably won't be looking for any sort of airline job until 2013. It seems that every faculty member here, every person at the career fair, and every flight instructor who can't find an airline job right now is telling us first-year students that we are in a wonderful position. I hope they're all correct.

Thanks for addressing this, Kent.
