I was explaining what I thought was the underlying reasoning, not trying to justify it.
SKW I think is more helo friendly than most airlines, and we have a few long-time helo guys in training and management. But even when other regionals were hiring wet commercials they never backed off much from their 1000-hour requirement (same helo credit as now).
