I think 1500 hours should be the absolute minimum.
Either way, the airlines needed pilots...at the same time I totally agree that pilots need to be more experienced. But would you rather have more experienced pilots from other countries be "leased" into airline spots here in the US (ie outsourcing pilots), or take the low time domestic guys? Over the last few years, the airlines needed pilots desperately, so something's gotta give. Good ol ECON 201/202, supply & demand
