Is this what you're saying:

If we don't aim to "get more people into the sky,"
we won't need to train safe pilots.

If not, what do you mean?


Because general aviation as we know it will be dead in ten years if we don't
start "filling the skies" with pilots. In short, it won't matter what kind
of pilots we're training -- safe or not -- if we don't get more applicants
for the PPL.

When the Baby Boomers start to lose their medicals, the GA infrastructure
(FBOs, flight schools, avionics shops) -- already teetering on the brink --
will simply collapse if we don't get a whole bunch of new pilots trained and
in the sky.
