You see, the problem we have in hand is because of the 1500 rule. That goes away, the scale tips in favor of airline management.

Let's see what happens to the override pays, day off flying etc. etc. when that takes place.

There isn't one lawmaker that will sign their name to lowering the 1500hrs. What's the upside to them if they do? One Colgan type deal, and it's a 300hr pilot in the rt seat, whomever signed on to reduce the 1500hr rule just lost their silly career as a politician. It won't happen. Maybe for military time, but not some kid that just got their commercial cert @ 250. And then spent another 250 as an instructor doing stalls. No way josè
