Definitely think the 1000 hr rule should stay.
Further wish people would quick referencing the "1500 hour rule". It's 1500 hours for an ATP. Has been as far back as I can remember. What they did was make ATP a requirement for FO and actually added a relaxation on the 1500 hours via certain avenues. If you don't think FOs should need ATPs, say so (not pointing fingers at you per se, just this thread in general).
