We couldve been a flight based country instead of cars if we went in another direction, when we had more pilots than planes

    Was never going to happen. The most efficient plane uses way more fuel than even a "gas guzzler". The common driver is dangerous enough with a land vehicle between mistakes operating and slack maintenance, imagine if that population were all flying around.

    The population was well trained after being drafted, some war ended (idr history that well) and we had a fat surplus of pilots, eventually they increased the hours needed for training, etc. to bring those numbers down, and up until recentlly, we apparently had a shortage, according to google.
