I thank my friend. the manager of the bill. for that response. I am still concerned. however. at how USIA will apply these regulations. Neither of us. nor the pilot training schools themselves. would disagree with ending the abuse of J visas. However. these programs have a practical training requirement for a very specific reason. That training. usually as a student instructor. is one step in qualifying for a air transport pilot rating. a standard recognized by the FAA as well as international aviation organizations. Could the manager tell me whether he feels the USIA recognizes the difference between work and training?
