1. Eliminate the Sim requirements.
2. Keep 1500
3. Require a minimum combined experience in the cockpit (say, 5000 hours)
4. Require maximum total combined age at the controls (say, 120 years).
The pilots of 3407 didn't even have a combined 1000 hours experience in the Q400. The above, combined with the new 1000 PIC requirements, should be enough.

I laughed out loud. Thank you.
They already have something like the max combined age in that if you are over 60, the FO isn't permitted to be over 60. I think that covers it.
I think "green on green" needs a change but I don't know that total hour mandates are the way to do it. I don't have another solution, but reserve staffing would be an absolute nightmare.

Analogy.
Imagine a consortium of lower-end hospitals and medical clinics across the country whining that they are having a hard time attracting doctors to practice at their hospital for $20,000/year.
Now imagine that those same hospitals and clinics want to lower the requirements for their employees to be able to perform surgeries such that only a bachelors degree in biology or anatomy is needed.
Then imagine that this these hospitals and clinics are not required to tell their patients which of their surgeons are actually doctors and which are merely 22 year-old biology majors.
Anyone see a problem with this arrangement?
