Â*Yeah, I know...Â* You can train any rube off the street to fly and
airplane, but when the feces hits the fan (think 737-Max), I'd rather
have someone up front who's actually had real life experience.

As soon as they open a camp to make world champions, I'll sign up!

The person that made the Reddit post logged 30 hours of glider time and earned his glider license.

An article from DG says the program will train up to 80 cadets a year and provide each cadet 50 flights. The training includes basic aerobatics and recovery of dangerous flight situations.
