To the student pilots out there or current regional guys who are for her article.... it's just 1500 hours! That gives you plenty of time to screw up while learning instead of doing the same thing with unsuspecting passengers in the back. I know were all sky gods and deserve a jet job at 250 hours, but they don't know that, there has to be a benchmark and 1500 is totally reasonable. Her article was describing short term gain by repealing the ATP rule but the issue here is deeper than that, not many want to be pro pilots. In a way this ATP rule will help get us the right compensation that we deserve. That will make this profession respectable again.
