Guys,

Lets get one thing straight - 700 or 750 hours is better than the current 250 requirement. What blows, is that ALPA had the opportunity to push for 1500 hours and caved. What a concept, a Airline Transport Rating to work as an Airline Pilot.

ALPA totally blew this one. ALPA always say they are valuable because of their political clout, yet on every watershed issue they say, "We couldn't stop it so its better to get onboard and have a say in it."

Anyone member the age 65 fiasco? Just think, less than 3 years until the first age 65 discrimination lawsuit.
