Does that not scare anyone but me?? In the '80s, they wouldn't even let you wash the plane with 600tt, much less fly it. Commuters were flying Beech 99s and wanted 3000 TT for an FO.

Now, it's only 600tt for a 50 seat RJ???
I had 500tt before I even got my CFI. Boy have things changed. Remember that the when a 22 year old "doctor" comes in to do your heart surgery.
10 years from now you say,
".....wow! I remember when you had to attend med school, residency, intern, etc before you could operate."

Things that make you go Hmmmmm.
PS....$1 JC dollar for anyone who knows who coined that phrase.
