I do like the 100 hours of instrument requirement. I think all airlines should have mins like that. I also think having a reasonably high TT minimums is a good idea.
But why does 100 hours of multi seem to be a universal requirement. I think there is not much difference between having 25 and 100 hours of multi. I would rather see someone with better experience (college degree, 1000+ TT, lots of instrument time, CFI/II/MEI ratings, etc...) and have 25 hours of ME rather than someone who has none of those, but bought a 100 hour block of ME time.
Maybe 50 hours of multi is a better minimum.
Maybe. I think the point has always been to show you can fly something a little complex with more power and speed. That's what I have assumed anyways. Of course there are some singles out there with way more of both of these that some light twins.
