You are talking about social benefits, the 1500 rule wasn't designed to help ys negotiate better pays. These people are going to fight it because they are foolishly convinced that its a safer rule. Doing an extra 1,000 hours of 172 in the pattern is not going to generate valuable experience.
They actually see more washouts since the rule, some need much longer time in IOE then prior to the rule. So, its not because it helped us negotiate better condition that its good for the safety of aviation.

The rule could be amended wit more sim training or more line training, right now, it doesnt do anything to prepare and train polots to be safer and better on 121 operations.

Skiles finally trying to get some media spotlight after beng shadowed by Sully? Did he return to the line after the "Miracle on the Hudson"?
