I'd be interested in hearing that as well. Kind of stinks that I would easily be over 1500 hours if I hadn't been furloughed. Someone a few numbers higher will have had over a year of "endangering the public" by flying their last 500 hours as an FO to qualify under the proposed rules.

However, before anyone happily jumps on me with their "pull up the ladder behind them" mentality, I support this nonetheless.
