Does it really matter if they repeal or keep the 1500hr rule? Not one bit in my opinion. Everybody from the government to the airline lobby just talks about 1500hrs this or that. No where do you hear them asking to do what the pilots want and need most. Pay a fair wage! So until they remedy that(which they never will until the whipsaw and SJS stops) then all this debate is for nothing. If anything the 1500hr rule keeps some poor CFI in the seat of a GA aircraft longer. While we increase our standards and make training tougher some guy/gal from another country comes over here, gets their wet comm and runs off back to their country and flies a heavy and flying public is indifferent...
