90 days from 0 hours to CFI/I/MEI is acceptable. Its the next 1000+ hours we should be concerned about.
I'm in favor of requiring 135 IFR mins for all applicants for 121 F/O jobs. Thats not set in stone. I'm willing to entertain higher flight hour requirements - maybe even ATP hours and rating to be a 121 pilot. Why not? Airline Transport Pilot - makes sense to me the novice looking in...
Unfortunately, there has to be a movement at the pilot level to make changes to preserve the profession you have all decided on.
