Will J-1 end this year ? & F-1 will replace J-1 ?

[pilotwannabe]

I have emailed several flight schools issuing J-1 Visas, & they have said that J-1 will be terminated by Dec 31,2009. And F-1 might be the only viable solution for J-1 seeking people, in the fields of aviation.

I wanna ask that is the J-1 termination news true ? And will F-1 or any other visa replace J-1 ?

Please Help !!!!
Thanks.
