I recently re-subscribed to "Plane & Pilot", and in this month's
edition they repeatedly refer to the "strong upswing in student starts"
that has fueled increased sales of (for example) the Diamond DA-40.

This is the first I've heard of this increase in pilot training, and I
hope it's the start of a trend. Anyone got a source for student stats?

It seems like every time I've walk into an FBO in the last twenty years,
they've been talking about how this was the PERFECT time to start toward a
career in flying. Airlines would be -begging- for pilots right around the
time I'd be getting that kind of flying time.

....uh...

Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day, I guess, but maybe the flight
schools found some hotshot new advertising agency or something.
