Unfortunately, there is an exception to the 1500 hour requirement.
H.R. 5900 [111th] - Summary: Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010 (GovTrack.us) Section 217 - Directs the FAA Administrator to conduct a rulemaking proceeding to modify minimum federal requirements for the issuance of airline transport pilot certificates. Requires a pilot to have at least 1,500 flight hours to qualify for a certificate. Authorizes the Administrator to allow specific academic training courses, beyond the minimum required, to be credited toward total flight hours, if allowing a pilot to take such courses will enhance safety more than requiring full compliance with the flight hours requirement. |

Yep, thats going to be the gray area. "Sure, you can hire a 200hr pilot, but just make sure to include an extra day of training on safety of flight and youll be fine!"

This means most people will have to CFI for a bit and then do 135 for a bit then go 121. Which, I am sure will make some people on here giddy as a school girl. However, that makes the road from entry to 121 even longer (again, giddy as a school girl) .

You have to fly at least 50nm away from your departure airport for ATP xc. Don't have to land or even shoot an approach. Just takeoff, fly 50nm away, turn back and it counts.

Yeah, point to point is for 135 stuff. I was worried that with the ATP, since the student is doing the landing, I couldnt log it as XC time. But then I remember that it is just the distance and that a landing is not included. But again, CFIs - don't just be wasting your students time to get that XC. I doubt many would, but some may.

No, it means they'll have a four year degree, and the rumor is that they will still be required to have at least 750 TT. Considering the price of aviation schools, that still seems like one heck of a barrier.

- you don't need a four year degree to be in this industry. I know plenty of American, delta, ups guys without a degree. I'm not saying it doesn't help, but still. |

Not having a four year degree knocks you out of the running for multiple employment opportunities. Besides, with an ATP, you can get an online degree in less than 4 semesters through some schools. |

(high pitched squeal followed by uncontrolled laughter) : | What? you don't like the idea of a pilot, check that, a future 121 Captain, having experience making real decisions while keeping a schedule? Instructing is great. I learned more about manipulating an airplane in the first 100 hours of instructing than I did in 1000 hours of doing anything else. BUT, my flight school still had limits on when I could fly, where, and when. It wasn't until I flew a Caravan hauling boxes that I learned about flying a line. When I am on a hiring team hiring a civilian pilot, CFI or aerobatic pilot (for airmanship) AND scheduled flying (for real world experience) are tops on my list. So sorry if you think the 2-3 years it takes to get that experience is too long. |
