You are so far off I don’t know where to start haha. Maybe you should actually read that second link you posted? Originally Posted by goodyear859

Recommendations for Enhanced Qualification Program
https://www.faa.gov/regulations_poli...aining_ARC.pdf
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.
