I'm no fan of degraded standards by any means, but in this case a pilot trained to operate as a member of a crew in a turbine aircraft is still gaining legit experience, particularly as applicable to airlines. In some cases the distinction between a single pilot vs. two pilot aircraft comes down to whether the PIC has good visibility out the right window.

EDIT: For clarity, I don't care much for the PDP aspect of the new rule, I just like that they clarify the allowance for logging 135 and 91 time flown under an appropriate OPSPEC. I think noobs should get as much GA PIC as they can, they often learn more that way than sitting in the right seat of anything.
