I won't say that the training is too easy.
I don't know too many other people who managed to go from Private all the way through to an SIC checkride without getting a pink slip at some point.
A majority of our professional pilots HAVE failed, at least one, if not two checkrides. Such is life.
So it's not too easy in my book.
The affordability in my opinion is the issue. And thankfully the larger issue of Credit and handing out huge loans simply for the commission is causing private loan and banks to re-evaluate their position of just simply handing money out to people for flight training, when many of these people will end up defaulting or filing bankruptcy due to the larger economic stability of individuals' lives.
So, in the end. . .it's going to become more and more harder to afford for flight training once the loans start to dry up.
