How much training does anyone need do deal with that?

I have seen a couple of clips to pilot "training" on TV and am disgusted. As a trainer my self, I am of the opinion that the Fed program will get pilots killed. I see shooters moving down a simulated aisle banging away at a target(s) at the end of the aisle. Kind of neat in an action pistol competition concept but likely to be very non productive for a pilot defending his air craft. If it costs $6,000.00 for this kind of training, I am in the wrong racket.

I haven't seen any of the film clips, only reports of the costs and after I posted I thought that some of you professional guys might mistake my disdain for the federal program for what you real guys do. I'm glad that you took it the way it was intended.

At 6K per, someone is making some pretty good money and someone is likely getting some undeclared income as a result of it. $6,000.00 is ridiculous.
