Since one wouldn't make such generalizations without knowing it and seeing it firsthand right? I'm wondering what an alarming rate is for you? What are these poor decisions you refer to? So if you want the regulations for stop this thing from happening, you want more regulations right? So if something happened and they raised the requirement, how is that paying the price? Isnt that what you want? more regulation? I am very confused as to what you are trying to say with all of this....please enlighten me.
No, I want airlines to actually screen applicants.
There's pilots being hired right now who make Resnlow look like a shuttle commander. Some of these types will see the left seat at exactly 1000SIC.
Of course *some* airlines won't do it themselves, so when then next tragedy happens congress will pass some new regulation that doesn't work and just makes it harder for people who actually have the right mindset to get hired.
PS- 1500 hours isn't crap, if you think it is... well... I might have news for you.
