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.
Theres always applicants who are below the bar...I just would like some examples since you seem to be in tune with everyones hiring right now. I wont disagree that standards have dropped but that doesn't mean that everyone hired is not a good applicant. SO what regulation do you think will help? 2000 hours? 5000? this is such an old argument...1500 hours does not make a safe fo, as 1000 sic does not make a safe captain...it depends on individuals. Great Lakes.... 1500 tt Captains have been flying those planes for years. Now give me an example of the sub-renslow pilots you seem to interact with at airlines.
