FAA committee recommends accelerated pilot training: FAA committee recommends accelerated pilot training: Travel Weekly

Recommendations for Enhanced Qualification Program

You are so far off I don’t know where to start haha. Maybe you should actually read that second link you posted?

This is basically a document of recommendations to the FAA.

There are 2 different methods being proposed to the FAA to allow the reduction of flight hours for those who are:
1: Military,
2: 4-year aviation degrees,
3: 2-year Aviation degrees.

The three groups above will be able to take an Enhanced Qualification Program (EQP) to reduce the number of hours required to obtain a Restricted ATP.

(METHOD 1)
ALPA recommendation
Reduction of flight hours with completion of EQP to
500 hours for military
750 hours for 4-year aviation degrees
1000 hours with 2-year aviation degrees

(METHOD 2)
Delta Airlines, Regional Airline Association, Flight Safety, and the Nationa Air Cartier Association recommendation:
Reduction of flight hours with completion of EQP

Military: 500 hours
4 year aviation degree: 500 hours
2 year aviation degree: 500 hours.

The second method is ridiculous in my opinion. It gives more credit for the EQP to those who have a 2 year degree than the other two groups.
