This thread is the **** show that I expected it to be. Bottom line is for all those people saying that you can't prove that the 1500 hour rule is responsible for America's impeccable safety record since Cogan, well you can't prove that it hasn't been a significant factor either. Also you act like Cogan is the only reason it came about and ignore all the accidents and incidences before that were a result of bad airmanship and poor aeronautical decision making.

Regardless of the impact if the 1500 hour rule if you are a pilot and you are against it then you are an idiot. Someone who loves bite off their nose to spite their own face. Perfect airline management material.
