This is why I am for the 1500 hour rule. It's a significant barrier to entry and requires real world experience of some sort... I cannot see anyone arguing against that. Sure it may be checks or just CFIing, but it is command time.
Just curious here...I've seen membership stats over the last few years and am wondering if this board is somewhat representative of who Delta has hired in the past.
How many of the regular posters on this board started their first airline (121 or 135 in the day) gig with less than 1500 hours?
How many paid for training?
How many Guard/Reserve babies with only a couple years active duty?
How many graduated from an accredited University program (ND, PU, SIU, AU type), Embry Riddle, or CMR Academy?
Thanks!
