It's time to just wait and see. If it happens then we will see what
sort of results will come of it.

I asked Phil Boyer what he thought of it, namely would it help attract new
pilots. He said essentially no, he expected pretty close to zero (and
admittedly any is better than none) new pilots.

What he *did* expect, and was pleased with, was an increase in the total
number of active pilots from passage of SLA. These would come from
returning pilots who had lost their medical, plus additional retention of
the older pilot population as they keep flying longer.

As you say, we'll see.

That is the same benefit that I have seen coming out of SA but it could make
getting into flying a little cheaper which could also be a plus.
