I am afraid we are chasing rainbows to make ourselves feel better and hope that the competition will become less through an act of congress. Won't happen. Fatigue might be addressed, training programs might be changed to implement similar situations, etc. But the low time guys will still be hired because there doesn't appear to be a direct track record between lack of experience and crashes.

That being said, perhaps my last post makes more sense now.
