Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Pilot records

for regular CFI's the license is a ticket to earn money and build hours on the way to an airline job. And once you have it, you have it, why give it up? For SP CFI's there was a big push to get all the BFI's and AFI's to become SP CFI's. The grandfathering provisions made it easier. Also, the change from paper certificates for pilots has been thinning the official count. Any other ideas?
