Default Republic seeks 1500 hour exemption

So, the headline from this is slightly deceptive. They are applying for permission to grant graduates of their training program a R-ATP with 750 hours because they are arguing it is equivalent to military training. I STRONGLY disagree with this premise, since there's no civilian program that's the equivalent of military training (I have experience in both). I would be willing to concede 1000 hour minimums, closer to a college 141 program. Regardless, if this were to pass Republic would get a ton of new applicants and this can only hurt the contract negotiations. Your thoughts?
