Committee Challenges New 1500 Hr Requirement
Anybody else tracking this? Boo!
What further proof is needed that the 1500 hour rule is good for pilots than having airline management and Roger Cohen fighting against the bill?

Can someone get Roger Cohen put on the no fly list? Maybe even dig up some associations with some terrorists, get him labeled an enemy combatent and held indefinately without trial. You know, it wouldn't be so bad. Just sayin'

An FAA advisory committee led by a regional airline official has proposed that 500 actual flight hours may be enough.
The Air Line Pilots Association backed the committee's recommendations.

Not only does this proposal lower the standards for airline hiring but it would encourage new pilots to train at expensive 141 flight schools. I can see the glossy ad "Learn to fly here and get a 1000 hour deduction in your hours requirement," too bad that reduction will cost them $100,000 in debt.
Perfect example of how stupid congress can be. In one room they will debate the merits of this proposal and in the other hold hearings with Sallie Mae on why so many young adults are defaulting on their student loans.

1.) The incumbent to be replaced.
2.) The challenger with a more favorable stance on the 1500 rule.
I'd love to know whom to vote for, thanks!

I'll be honest, before I wasn't too gun-ho about this. I was for safety, a better wage, at higher standard of living. However, I wasn't quite sure this rule would be the cause of that. I like the outcome, I just wasn't sure this requirement would be the means to the ends.
After seeing this, I support the requirement MUCH more.
