I absolutely agree with you. As I do with most of your posts. You seem to be a voice of reason among much drama and trolls. I admire that. Not harsh at all, IMHO, don't know why you thought it was. Each "arena" one flies in is slightly different as to the rules that guide us. Doesn't mean previous experience is any less valuable, of course, just means we have to do what we do a little differently.

Between us, congress, and the FAA, am I the only one that realizes there are an infinite number of values between 250 and 1500? I don't understand why it's either one or the other. Drop it to 1000 or 1200 or 800. Then the industry gets less onerous hiring requirements and the pilots and survivors families still get higher minimum experience airline pilots. This doesn't seem like rocket science to me:

1,500hrs is not much time at all. I think that putting ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) requirements to fly an AIRLINER only makes sense. I know I learned ALOT between 250-1,500hrs, I didn't just spend my time VFR in a 172 though, instructed alittle, flew some traffic watch, then SIC 135 cargo and by just over 1,200hrs PIC 135 cargo. So by 1,500hrs I'd seen a fair amount. Never the less I still had more than my fair share of potential fatal situations well beyond 1,500hrs, more than I care to admit due to faults of my own, but I survived and learned from it. That's what experience is. So suck it up, for a couple years and earn your experience.

I just can't comprehend how 1250 more hours of instructing in a 172 makes you more fit for the role of an FO.
1) Aircraft weight and speeds are vastly different.
2) You are not acting as a crew. As the CFI you are instructing not working together.
3) Zero high altitude experience
4) Zero advanced systems experience
The list goes on. The requirements should be quality over quantity with the bare minimum being a high requirement like 1500.
You should get a credit for quality of time. Total time drops with time in multi/turbine aircraft.

The 4 things you list can all be taught during airline training, but the basics need to be solid before you go to work for an airline.

I would plan on a month. It takes a little time to complete the background check. I know guys who interviewed around January 20th and are starting the next class on February 16th.
