Not since ATP became mandatory! There may be a couple exceptions that lower 1500 by a little bit (military or certain civilian schooling). This happened after families of flight such and such got federal law passed.
Where are these people demanding 1500 for bus drivers and train conductors that are involved with 1000X more accidents, injuries, and deaths?
... And the anti-hammer coilition? Cause far more people are killed with bats and hammers than guns...
