3. Thanks for sharing your view. You realize that even if the rule passes as you desire, there will be less than 1500 hour commercial airline pilots flying through and into US airspace and airports.
I don't care if they are spit out of the womb and into an airliner cockpit in their home country, I do not want the US to buckle to their crap for our rules.
1500 hours is required for an ATP because you have at least been there, done that and scared yourself a few times. At 500 hours you barely know that you've scared yourself and haven't matured.
