This is a good point.
The 750 hour requirement applies to pilots with military flight experience.
What's the percentage of Commercial Pilots that had at least 500 hours of cross country time when they reached the 1000 hour mark and were working as a CFI at the time?
Maybe it's not as simple as 1000 hours, an FAA ATP course and a degree from Embry Riddle?
