Boy, the FAA really has lowered the bar. And yet they wonder why they have more accidents. They've been lowering the bar instead of keeping the standards up, or God forbid, raising them!
Do they still require 250 to get your Commercial, or have they dumbed that down too?
I got my PPL with 41 hours and IFR with 90 hours, fwiw. Commercial is still 250 unless you do it 141, then it can be done with around 230. I never knew it was required to have 200 hours to get the IR, but it's been at least 20 years that has not been the case.
I flew with a couple less than 250 hour guys in the CRJ.
