I was a 3000 hour wonder, thank you. I even had to have 1800 hrs. TT before I could get a job flying freight in a single engine piston plane.
I saw many military pilots being hired in the 80's and 90's with less than 2000TT.
You want to place some restrictions on getting an ATP. You want to front load restrictions that benefit you. That's human nature. I just wanted to point out that even some of your friends won't meet them.
Your right about one thing. It's not about mil vs. civ.
We both want the same thing.
So how do we do it. The unions and their members need to grow a pair and bargin for all regional flying to be brought back to the mainline.
Just my two cents.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MIL v CIV!
Back on topic...my response was about raising the bar and creating some barriers to entry. You obviously must have been a 300 hour wonder.
