It's been equal parts alarming and saddening to watch this develop over the past 20+ years.  And it doesn't appear to be getting any better.

Tangent:

It might get better

He's just one guy but light a candle and if there are others to fight for change in the Puzzle Palace things might get better.  Think about it, pretty much the entire LAF officer cadre think acquisition is totally FUBAR, I’m hopeful this is reaching critical mass and change could happen.

Question for guys that live in base or close to it for your airline, if a new UPT syllabus was created along with likely a new aircraft to go with it, would you drop mil leave if you could start your mil duty at or near base flying out in the training aircraft, fly for a week or so then return to your base in said mil trainer.  Students then fly aircraft back to mil UPT base, solo or crewed.  
This is just another of my ideas from left field but the existing UPT bases are not that far from major domiciles, END to DFW is 211 NM, CBM to ATL is 201, etc… if they could out n back to pick up Reserve IPs to fly but cut out the self directed commute and positive space effectively would there be interest?
