Well, I didn’t read the article (because I’m too cheap to pay for it), but simply responding to the headline,……. GOOD!!!! I’m glad that the media is ringing the bell of a potential pilot shortage, although I’m not confident that they’ll expose other, (equally as culpable), factors leading to it.
I believe that the 1500 hour rule is ONE of MANY factors leading to a pilot shortage. And I don’t see a problem with that! High individual training costs, fewer military pilots, and a general lack of interest on the part of young adults in becoming anything other than a video game designer, a rapper, NBA sensation, or social media influencer all play a part in the potential for a shortage of qualified professional pilots. We’ll know that there is a genuine shortage of pilots when commercial airlines begin lobbying the government to increase (or remove) the mandatory retirement age. As things currently stand, airlines appear all-to-happy to replace their older/expensive pilots with young/cheaper pilots. |
Yet more proof that corporations are running this country, not the people. The 1500 hour rule is costing the airlines a ton of money which bleeds over into every industry. So it must go, safety be damned!
The WSJ is the #1 propaganda tool of corporations. It's the CNN of the corporate world. |

Increase the wages and people will come. Airlines pay for flight training in exchange for X many years of service. Many other ways to get pilots without cutting experience, but those two cost $$$... can't have that.

Get rid of it, and you'll have food stamp wage regional pay scales again. The 1500hr rule forced companies to actually pay a living wage to pilots, and boosted the rest of us up. |
Student pilots and CFIs are ecstatic.
