My prediction is within the next year or two you will see a major softening of the 1500hr rule. You'll see it knocked down to something like 500 hours in leiu of 16 Sim sessions and minimum 100% hours of ioe. The crisis is beginning and the government won't sit on their hands and watch the nations airlines crumble.

So will Sully Sullenberger and Jeff Skiles, who have proven to be eloquent, outstanding advocates for both safety as well as our profession.
Quoting Sen. Charles Schumer during the recent congressional subcommittee hearing on lowering ATP standards, to Mzzzzzz. Black (representing the RAA):
"No disrespect, but we're going to go with the 20,000 hour pilot's opinion!"

Actually, it played a big part. If both pilots were required to have ATP minimums when they were hired (experience) and other training issues, along with all of the other new rules (117), it is a 99.99999999% probability that it wouldn't have happened.

That may be true, but another accident of that caliber could happen any day and it will. This time it is going to be a crew that has all that required "experience" and a perfect record. Crews are human and simply make very poor decisions outside the sim sometimes. Some people are good operators and not great aviators or situational managers. Those things will never change and you can't always catch them. Then what?

More like a 50% probability. People with multiple initial and 121 ride failures are still being hired and are operating aircraft on a daily basis. Rules on commuting? Nope.
