The real reason, in my opinion for such a modification is in setting precedence for a relaxation of the minimums. If this goes through it will shortly be followed by other relaxations.

Actually this is benefit to all the rotor heads in the military (over half of naval aviation) who didn't find a productive fixed wing orders option. Suspect more than most realize. They used to be able to Rj it for a bit and move along. Now that option is closed to them until they can get an Atp.
