I just read 15 pages of pontificating about the 1500 hour/ATP FAR and whether or not it matters. As Captains, would anyone care to cite examples of exactly how inexperience reveals itself on the line? Myself, an unabashed proponent of higher minimums and an ATP, if, for no other reason than consistency: FAR 135.243 requires 1200 hrs to fly a piston twin full of mail bags as a PIC. Doesn't it stand to reason that to occupy an airliner cockpit would require at least that?
So, please share with us your anecdotal evidence of why inexperienced crew members compromise safety.
