So I'm just putting this out there to see what people say.

What about a requirement for a first-time 121 CA position to have a minimum requirement?

Everybody keeps talking about raising experience. And most people say the best experience they got was at their first transport category aircraft gig. Alot of focus with this bill is looking at first officers but I think raising the CA's experience would be more valuable than limiting entry to the cockpit. Perhaps in order to upgrade for the first time, the pilot must have 2000hrs in type. Once you upgrade for the first time, this limitation is removed.

For example. Pilot A has been employed as an FO in aircraft XYZ and has 2000hrs. He changes companies but still flies the same type for an additional 1000hrs. He now has 3000hrs in type and is ready to upgrade. Now pilot A has 3000hrs in the actual aircraft he is to Captain. I would think he has enough experience to pass his experience on down to the FO's trying for the same goal.
