Change is good when it is positive. Lowering the experience levels of cockpit crews is never a good thing. It drives down safety and lowers pay.
I may be inexperienced when it comes to the actual flying....for now....however I will not enter the profession naive and driving at the hood ornament. Having a good field of vision while trying to minimize the potential pitfalls no matter what route one chooses to take is always a good thing.
As far as lowering the experience level of cockpit crews, well, I don't set the standard. Whether or not if a pilot is proficienct enough to fly a jet or turboprop a/c at 500 hrs as oppose to 1000 hrs is a judgment call. It's not mine to make about anyone else other than myself.
