This is only a 6 to 10 month delay in the training pipeline Compared To the 1,000 hour requirement we used to see. It’s been in place for a number of years now so probably just a slight deterrent to most people thinking about a career. If they were to amend the age 65 rule as well then the pilot shortage would decrease.
