Sully, Skiles and Schumer are all self-serving. But the1500hr rule will not change until 3407 is distant enough in the past to no longer be a political tool, basically when there are enough cancellations to anger enough passengers to the point of complaining to congress.

But the fact is that the 1500 hour rule has increased safety. The caliber of pilot we are seeing on IOE is way less than when there were 300 university pilots. Once the schools catch up and those pilots hit the restricted ATP mins in enough numbers, quality will go up.
