I don't really see how that makes much of a difference.
Of course, I only care because it effects me directly
Dude I don't mean to come across as some jaded senior FO but 1000 hours 121 is the
bare minimum anyone should be operating a 75,000 pound airplane around the US as PIC.
Some of you guys that have never experienced a winter flying in and out of the NE part 121 need that before you have any business being Captains on an aircraft in part 121 ops.
I'm not bashing all the guys out there with all this 135 experience, but there is a big difference between being able to hand fly an ILS to mins in a Piper Navajo and making command decisions while flying a CRJ 900 or a E175 in and out of some of the busiest airports in the world.
