OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING.. i thought i could just get my certificate and go straight to the plane.. of course i knew i would have to rent a cessna and fly it around a while so when i went to upgrade I would have the PIC i need to qualify,,but hey that is being deffered too!!!! YIPPPEEEE,, LOWER TIMES,, LOWER STANDARDS,, AND NOW THEY WANT TO RAISE IT TO SOMETHING RESPECTABLE!!!! HOW DARE THEY!!!
sadly the first time you are really even PIC (no instructor on board, not day vfr, and more than the measly 50 miles you have been flying to count as cross country) there will be people in the back of the plane depending on you.
It seems like the lower mins are really bothering you, perhaps old memories? I‘m sorry that times have changed and airlines are lowering their mins for now.
FYI, new mins(if true) only set me back about 3 months. Not so shabby!
