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.

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.

+1. The poster you are responding to has obviously not been watching DCI performance too closely. Not worth my time explaining it to him or her, either.

If RAH would meet the pilot 60% of the way the company would be on a position to do better. 1500 rule will not go anywhere!! The companies need to pay more!!!

There is no chance the captain and the first officer would have been flying that flight together with ATP minimums and all the other rules in place.

As for rules on commuting? Are you going to make everyone live within 1 mile of the airport? What are you going to do to those that take 3 hours in traffic to drive 20 miles to the airport?

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!"

Sully, Skiles and Schumer are all self-serving. But the1500hr rule will not change until 3407 is distant enough in the past to no longer be a political tool, basically when there are enough cancellations to anger enough passengers to the point of complaining to congress.

But the fact is that the 1500 hour rule has increased safety. The caliber of pilot we are seeing on IOE is way less than when there were 300 university pilots. Once the schools catch up and those pilots hit the restricted ATP mins in enough numbers, quality will go up.

Yes, we'd be much better with companies that go for the empty flow-through/ guaranteed interview promises and sign concessionary contracts during a pilot shortage, selling out those that have held out for better.

So was your post, Grumpy.

Where did the RAH thread go from a year ago? Deleted?
