If you think the 1500 hour rule is the issue airline management needs to change to tip the scales in their favor you are sorely mistaken. I would say the most sever issues they face in order are: their previous (and aguably still) inadequent and embarrassingly low pay. Second, the mandatory retirement age of 65.
The best thing anyone can do for themselves is put themselves in a position to be employed at an airline that has contracted terms that seem to ensure a good future if they were to be stuck there long term.
Just do a Google search on lowering limitations for certain type of pilots , especially military ones. It's there.
Age 65 actually killed it for regional management, right after the 2008 financial crisis. They were still able to here 200 hr wonder pilots and places like atp was advertising stuff like " you can fly this jet in 6 months "
It will happen sooner than later when the Raa starts lobbying the Congress. The Buffalo incident is becoming a distant past.
