Being short on company specific experience and having never made a PIC decision during a 121 operation... sure, why not?!
Going to be some extremely entertaining scenarios that come out of this, so many employees operating on min experience, not just here but becoming the norm industry wide, let the great experiment begin!

As much as I’d like to see all of us get better pay rates, at the least they need to raise instructor pay to keep them here. We need experience in the training departments. Just because you meet the legal requirements doesn’t mean it’s the best idea. I’ve had some new instructors that were good, but experience is valuable. In my opinion this could be more dangerous than pre-1500 hour rule. At least then you still had lots of people with a 5-15 years experience.

Yeah, don’t get me started about seeing an FO as a chief pilot......
He’s a good dude though with military experience and previous leaderships positions in his background.

Yeah he is great dude, plus with 20 years as a police officer and a doctorate as well as having been an acting assistant chief for the better part of a year. I do think he is highly qualified for the position regardless of having a forth strip.

Same for all the people in new hire training... twenty years as a cop qualifies him to be a chief pilot no more than me being a pilot for twenty years makes me qualified to be a police chief. You can’t give valuable advice if you have never sat in the seat and seen the issues first hand. Evidently the guy in ORF is an FO too.
