1500 HR rule does one great thing for all of us which raises the barrier to entry which makes anyone willing to get that time demand more money or not waste their time. That lowers supply and should raise pay.

Also, sully has been the single best spokesperson for advancing this career. If you fly rjs you need to push the ego aside and realize that anything that makes the fee for departure airlines look bad is a step and making them disappear and have all that flying done at the majors. The regional airline association has lobbyist constantly trying to get the 1500hrs pulled back all in effort to keep the slave labor model alive. Sully had stood before congress and made those lobbyists look downright stupid. He's done more for this career probably than any single person.
