So do we agree or disagree? haha
Here's some numbers up to 2011.

I'm not totally sure. LOL As it were, those stats are two years old, at best. If I understand you right, I think you're telling me that you think there will be a two year period where regional recruiting will be in the toilet, which will cause growing pains, but after that things will rebound.
Personally, I'm not sure it will ever be what it was in the last decade. With the much more visible lack of earnings potential and a much more costly climb to the initial ATP, I think we'll see an overall drop in flight school enrollments.
