This will rule will do one important thing as far as improving the career. It will weed out those individuals with a strong sense of entitlement and little desire, drive and commitment to do what it takes to be a professional pilot. Those with a passion for aviation will not need much motivation to do what it takes and wont spend their time complaining, they will be out there getting it done no matter what it takes. Jobs were just to easy to come by as of late. It drove down quality of life, pay and benefits and has taken a huge toll on the profession. This is one step to repair that, this rule may seem an arbitrary number that really does not relate to the real world, it is what it is. But most important, airline jobs will be there for people that are committed and thus have a greater value and appreciation for what it takes to get there and will do what it takes to preserve and protect the job they have earned.
