What I did write are the following facts:
1- it was implemented by Obama as a gift to the unions
2- at the time it was passed it had nothing to do with safety, it was purely political
3- there has been no peer reviewed study showing that the 1500 hour rule has made flying safer (please show me otherwise, I would like to read it!)
Nice try though.
1) it was a response to Colgan, not a gift to unions
2) it absolutely had to do with safety
3)it’s disingenuous to say this, because the statistical modeling of exceptionally rare events is nearly impossible. This is the problem with “safety science” as a whole.
