It's funny that they are already possibly feeling the affects of this 1500 rule.

NEWS FLASH TO MANAGEMENT: there are plenty of pilots out there with over 1500hrs. If you can't find them it's because your compensation is too low. If you can't afford to pay more then maybe you have a flawed business model.

We just lost a ton of mechanics and INC reported that it cost them $8million. Stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime seems to be the new way around here.

I hope that this shortage really does exist because that should raise the value of a pilot. Instead they will just figure out ways to hire unqualified pilots I suspect.
