It's a 750/1000/1250/1500 rule. Not one size fits all.

I think it's great.

The only people who are against the 1500 hour rule are the regional airlines and the people without 1500hrs.

Regulatory wise I think the 117 rules are the best thing that came from it. “1500” hours though? My 1500 hours is different from yours. You could’ve been ready for the airlines at 500, whereas someone else won’t be ready until 2500. You can’t put a number on experiences in my opinion.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What were you guys smoking during this report case study deal? It was the wrong thing to do, they were in a full blown stall with the wings rocking back and forth.. spin from trying to aileron roll out instead of pushing the yoke forward... go watch the NTSB animation and you’d think differently about the actions of the crash being the right thing to do. RIP to all the souls.

Dera, PRIA was around well before this.

1500 has been neutered by big money lobbyists. So the inspector was right.
Today the inexperience in the right seat is glaring. Most want to learn. Some really worry me.
Yeah, PRIA is from 1996 I believe, but it seems like airlines take PRIA much more seriously nowadays.
The Captain of Colgan 3407 "forgot" to mention a few failed checkrides and checking events, something that you couldn't really do today (unless you go to Mesa).

The crazy thing was that they weren't even close to stall when the event started. They had 20+ knot margin to an actual stall. The captain pulled it to a stall for reasons we will never know.

It was a normal stall. Airspeed went unnoticed as it was deteriorating. They were in heavy icing conditions so it appeared that the pilots mistook it for a tail stall and applied that recovery. Was this a result of the fatigue? I would say so. It’s kind of hard to Monday night quarterback their actions, when thankfully we are protected from experiencing their QOL at that time.

I agree with you on the fact you can’t put a number on experience level. How you got to that number obviously separates us. Also the quality of the experience is as well. Would you say someone with 1500 clean hours (no emergencies or ride failures) has more experience than the guy with 250 TT who has dealt with multiple emergencies and a checkride failure (learned from their own mistake)?

I still don’t understand where “1500” hours came from. Both pilots had well over that amount in TT.

They were very close to a stall when the event started. The shaker went off before the captain pulled up.

Correct me if I’m wrong because I’m too lazy to research, but I believe the R-ATP mins came after the initial legislation due to the sudden lack of qualified pilots.

It wasn't supposed to fix most of the problems. Most of the "problems" are simply people allowing themselves to be taken advantage of.

As measured in fatalities per X number of RPM's in the US, yes. Is all or most of that due to the 1500 rule? Hard to know.

The 1500 rule helped with that too. After 1500 hours in GA/CFI, people are slightly less willing to put up with crap than they would have been at 300 hours, when the shiny jet out-shined all other considerations.

But there's a difference between treating your employees like crap and safety. The two can be related, but fundamentally nobody, FAA, NTSB, or Congress cares if your job sucks. You can always quit, and there will almost always be someone willing to fill your shoes (and for less money).

IIRC it was in the original law when signed, but was added in during the legislative and rulemaking process. Which is how it's supposed to work.
