1500 hours is just one of the requirements of 14 CFR 61.159.
Ok Larry thanks, I know that. I've had an ATP for many years. I also know how lift works and how to tie shoelaces.
My point was that the 1500 number for ATP minimums is just a number, if arbitrary. I believe I've made that point clear already twice now. I guess I don't know enough advanced ph.D level English to make it any clearer now.
