Why is it that someone points out the hypocrisy of the government giving money and advantage to companies and individuals to absolutely insane levels, that is a bad thing.

We all know the abuse going on, between the disability scandals, now you add companies getting kick backs for hiring pilots.  Which will lead to discrimination and less hiring of other pilots.

I thought this forum was for the open discussion of problems in our industry? Both good and bad.

But one question, if Army/Air Force/Navy/Marines/Coasty are such good pilots and so well trained, why do we need a skills bridge and extra training to bring them over to the civilian side of helicopter flying?
