quote:Don't the people undergoing training get paid as apprentices, or as crew members under Coast Guard regulations? According to this, it takes as little as 12 months, and at most 36 months, of experience to qualify for the pilot's exam. That is not anywhere near the 10 years you mention. I can understand if it takes 10 years to get a pilot's position because the pilots associations do not have openings for additional pilots, but getting a license does not take that long.
you have no idea. Do you even have a clue how hard it is to even become a bar pilot? Put aside the nepotism, but the training and education you have to go through takes at least 10 years before you can even get your licence.

Lol. Ok.
Do you realize it takes longer than that just to get 100 ton license?? You think they're just going to pass out pilot licenses to just anyone after 12 months??
From start to finish it takes approx 10 years after its all said and done.
