As a Captain myself with over 5000 hours, I can say every single word of the linked blog is true and accurate with no exaggeration.
The thing thats astounding in all of this, is how both the FAA and the airlines sat for 5 years since they mandated age 65 and did absolutely nothing. Now, everybody is begging for forgiveness and leeway.
- jcoby 14y agoHow do they expect future ATP to get 1500 hours? Cargo and CFI time? Sims? Even circling around in a Cessna 150 at $50/hour that's $75k and it's not even useful time.

- fkdjs 14y agoMaybe they expect air force vets to fly them?
