I think Jtrain is right on with his perspective. Those that take his tact in a personal manner are missing the point and seem to want to flame his opinion.

I've seen when it took 1500 total and 300 multi to buy a regional job. There is no doubt those days, while not appreciated by the quick up and comer, turned out a more well rounded, experienced, airline pilot. Can a 250 hour guy do the job? Well, I suppose, but not to a standard that I think is realistic. Or to a standard that I think is even slightly appropriate...

I long for the day when the 300 hour guy gets "supply and demanded" out. It will be better days when a higher standard is enforced and becomes the norm. And I say this all from a position of not having a dog in the fight, really, other than I just think it's right.
