The AQB has no evidence that the appraiser community will not take on trainees if/when an area actually runs into the prospects of a long term shortage of appraisers. I don't see any reason to believe that the same people who were running trainees back during the 2001-2008 boom won't return to the same behavior (even if only limited to 3/time) when the market for appraisal services improves to the point that the fees increase.
The problem with the AQB is that they got the lenders and AMC's in their ear. Banks and AMC's run Appraisal Foundation.
