Well I suppose we will have to agree to disagree. I still contend that no one at the FAA is willing to fall on their sword by lowering the hour requirements any further than they already have, as defined by public law 111-216 with the 750-1000-1250 reductions, lest there be another incident with someone with less time that is required now in the cockpit just because Reverend Bedford says he can't find pilots. It would end the careers of anyone and everyone involved in the decision.
