I dont agree Frakavi8tor,,the public compares cost vs quality on almost everything except airlines. They want cheapest ticket possible and if they are dissapointed they know to post on FB or call the local news station and they will get a reward of some type.

I got an undergrad degree while quite literally eligible for food stamps and feeding my kid cheerios, peanut butter and whatever else WIC paid for.
You just want a short cut. Meet the requirements, or get a different job - just stop whining about it being someone else's fault.

The small handful that can't afford the prevailing market rate and/or attract employees with flowthrough/QOL/etc. thus represent uncompetitive entities, and regardless of any level of government regulation, allowing them to be slowly culled from the herd is a good thing for the industry and the economy.
Same goes for an airline that can't pay the going market rate for fuel, parts, compliance with maintenance standards, gates, etc..
If the 1,500 hour rule was driving regionals out of business left and right, I might agree with your sentiment that the govt pushed a bit too far--but they aren't. Most of them are doing fine, most of them are thriving--the ones that aren't are a drag on the economy and industry and we shouldn't do anything to help them.
