Chuck Schumer (D) is the father of the 1500 hour rule. A manufactured 'shortage' the doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.
Bill Shuster of Pennsylvania (R) is the author of the 2018 FAA authorization and pushing for privatized ATC, I could see 250 hours coming back also.

You think a shortage doesn't exist anywhere else in the World? Do you live under a rock?

Qualified, current and typed A320 captains with 5000tpic? Sure.
Other countries have experience shortages, we have a manufactured experience shortage.

Less safe how? Completely baseless claim.

I could care less about "how safe" the cockpit is... I like the 1500 hours because I want to make a lot of money. SHOW ME THE MONEY! My second year and Piedmont and I make more than all my years at expressjet combined haha.

Show me a country with a safety record as impeccable as ours. You want to be like every other country? We will have their problems as well.
Also, are you ok with the supply of instructors drying up because you can't wait a year or two and gain some experience in a cockpit making decisions without an instructor at your side? There is still a shortage even without the 1500 hour rule.

The risk is higher if you employ pilots under a certain threshold. Is 1500 hours a magic number? No. It's a good start until we can better train our inexperienced pilots and until all 121 carriers put safety over money and train pilots and not just fill seats with meat.

Not gonna happen. Politicians have one job after being elected and that's being re-elected. It would be political suicide for any legislator who attaches their name to a bill to repeal public law 111-216 and God forbid an airliner crashed with a 250 wonder in the cockpit.
