The ATP rule was forged presumably to prevent accidents like Colgans from happening again. Problem is the law was not science or research based in anyway, it was a total political knee jerk reaction and the article correctly states that. The law's unintended (or perhaps intended) consequence was putting a flow restrictor into the airline's new pilot pipeline. This has given us leverage by limiting the supply side of things, and it is a good thing for the profession. So of you wanna demand that article be removed because you want to keep the public thinking its a needed law, well go on ahead, it benefits us all for them to think that. But at least lets say it how it is on these forums. Either way, heart of the issue is entry level pay and the article missed it.
