Without the 1,500 hour rule you’d be making $17 an hour once you got here. Think about that while you are making $100 an hour during COKS.

No, it's not new. There's been a requirement for having 1500 hours to hold an ATP certificate for decades longer than before you were born.

Nah, I don't think so. I think people that keep saying "1500 hour rule" are missing it.

The airline transport pilot license requirement change resulted in greater safety and higher compensation for entering this career. Commercial Pilot’s have fewer opportunities but this is due to the high cost of operating trainers. If we had cheaper operational costs more pilots would fly for fun and get their 1500 hours without griping about having to train the next line of pilots. CFI work teaches you patience and people skills along with a higher level of processing all aspects of flight including leadership.


We are better off now with the “1500 hour rule”. Put in your time or spend your own dime. But stop opening these threads every day.

Rules fine for two reasons...

It acts as a filter for many people (including psychological) before they're allowed into the pointy end of a transport jet in a 121 operation.

Due to differences in the training methods between the FAA and JAA systems it helps maintain an overall equivalent level of safety.

Plus the money is great now that you can't just pull a guy off the street and have a pilot in 9 months - companies need to start thinking sustainably instead of trying to race each other to the bottom in the name of investor worship and quarterly results.
