Which is the best thing that has happened to this industry in decades.

I don’t see many Part 91/135 raising wages and benefits very quickly. Surprising many former Legacy pilots can’t seem to make their rent payments or can’t stand their family after retiring. There has been a huge influx of legacy pilots joining a lot of part 135 companies lately. I personally don’t care their reason as most are great guys/gals, but not taking into account age. The ranks are not as depleted as one might think. 65Yrs and 1 days is the new 1,500hr 23 year old.

I will add to this statement that some (134.5) carriers ( They know who they are). Many throw a few extra dollars out to beat a reputable part 135.

That is how the rule was written from day one.

The ATP rule wasn't. That was added later.

The above is correct, of course, but I want to note that the restricted ATP with less than 1500 hours may only fly as F/O, not as PIC in 121 operations.
