Good points. In my opinion this won't account for very many people that want to become career pilots.
This new rule makes one pay their dues one way or another. The extremely wealthy that have very little value for an airline pilot will always be trying to get to the position. At least with this new rule they will have to get the experience whether they have to pay money for it or work for some one they will still be gaining experience. And hopefully sometime before they reach enough time to get their ATP they will realize that a pilot job isn't for them.
