The 1500 hour rule will be a welcome change. I'm sick if babysitting while they learn what they should have already learned before stepping into a jet. The passengers deserve better.
I can't argue with that.
There is NO shortage of experienced pilots. There is a shortage of experienced pilots willing to work for what inexperienced will work for. Some call it SJS; from my seat.... They're right.
I used to hold that opinion until I met quite a few "experienced" pilots who applied to the same jobs that the 300hr folks were applying to.
I think we have the same views on the 1500hr rule etc, but I absolutely cannot agree with your opinion on checkride busts.
