I got a better idea. Let the airlines pay, on a continual long term basis, what the market requires to hire that experience. Problem solved.
The airlines, and their previous compensation packages, resulted in the current hiring environment (along with new people clamoring to get in through short cuts). We don't need to change safety regulations to fix the problem the airlines created.
