Makes me wonder.....
I agree with you philosophically, but the law is crystal clear and a POI doesn't have the authority to add experience reqirements over what the FAR's specify.
Our current commercial license requirements came out of a by-gone era...that level of experience should be limited to what it was originally developed for: smallish, unpressurized, recip airplanes.
Turbine and 121 pilots should have an ATP, period.
