I'm not disagreeing with you. I think requiring 1500 hours is a good thing. I used to not think so, but now I realize experience definitely helps. I just have a hard time believing 1,000 hours towing banners rather than 1,000 hours in a Q400 would have prevented the CA from stalling the airplane. I currently fly a Beechjet 400 and I've learned more in the last 100 hours than I did in the 700 hours before that. Not just because its a new airplane, but because its more complex, I'm flying into busier airports with a higher workload, and things just generally happen a lot faster. I have to be on my toes.
