And you're right. The 1500 hr rule is totally arbitrary. Just Look at how someone from Embry riddle qualifies at 1000 hrs, a community college grad 1250, and military at 750. But some kid at atp flight school needs 1500. Entirely arbitrary to give those graduates an hour exemption.


If it's going to be arbitrary, I rather it be 1500 hours than 250 hours. By the way, now that you require an atp for 121, and most 125/135, almost everyone will have at least 1,000 hours PIC.
