How many of these people are there, really? Alpa says they have been employed for a 'considerable' amount of time yet they have not reached 1500 hours? The airlines have known about this rule for over 2 years, they should have been hiring with it in mind.
Who has been hiring people that wouldnt meet this rule anyhow? Gojet comes to mind, but they aren't alpa.

Which sucks if you're the one just above them on the bid triangle, like me...

Ya, we should all allow the low time pilots to bypass other "Higher time" pilots so they can get their time. And in doing so make more money and have better than reserve schedules.
Sounds fair to me.
Or we send them back to the real world where they can flight instruct, fly 135 day VFR, banner tow or whatever. And earn their airline job.

You realize state "right to work" legislation doesn't apply to airlines right?

As of now, I know of at least 2 people at Horizon that still have close to 300 hours to go... The company has been building them lines in order to get them more flying than they would have on reserve.

Yes, because fighting cabotage and foreign ownership, as well as working for better FTDT regs, more strict safety standards, NEXTGEN airspace, more strict lithium battery shipping standards, higher pay, better work rules & job protection is just silly.

Very, very few. I guess I'm OK with grandfathering anyone who's been employed for 13 months or more.
But anyone who took an airline job with 300 hours last month should have known better...they can go back to their Cessna.
As to APA's motives, the same as they always are...people with less than 13 months don't pay dues

They might need waivers for the 22 year olds with only 100 hrs PIC time and of questionable moral character.
I've seen some CA's with the 61.159(d) ICAO limitation, and they weren't allowed out of the country. I wonder if an ATP with that limitation would be allowed.
