Default Airlines Cut Minimum Pilot Experience to 500 hours and Below

Clearly. That's why there's a hiring shortage and they're having to
scrape the bottom of the barrel of qualified applicants to fill
those jobs.


When they run out of apps, they'll raise the pay until they get some
more apps.

That's how it works in every business.


Well obviously first they are going to lower the number of hours required.
Hey, at 500 they still have some room to lower them further.

Where they will first hear about the problem is when the captains start
bitching about having to fly all the legs because the 1st officer can't even
taxi without running into the grass.
