Another wrench perhaps, but minimums are minimums. Flight time, age requirements, attitude/personality, resume (titles, etc.) What constitutes the hours of 1501 vs 2500 or whatever. We had a trainee waiting to become of age if you will to finish their 74 type at the training center. Believe he moved on, but good for him. Total package makes more sense with requirements met. Granted, you can drive at the age of 16 (or younger in some cases), but now in some states a handgun is not allowed until your 21 (perfectly alignment with alcohol age). Nothing discriminatory, which is better - 2500hrs predominantly (2/3rds) single engine or the King Air type moving auto parts by themselves most of the time. Not advocating any changes but life doesn’t always make sense. Point taken: In a Perfect World.
