Pilot bill passes house

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Wow.... maybe legislation is important.....

Yea, like that age 65 legislation. Thanks for that.

Oh I am SOOOO holding my breath....

• • • (B) ALL FLIGHT CREWMEMBERS- Rules issued under paragraph (1) shall ensure that, after the date that is 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, all flight crewmembers--
    • (i) have obtained an airline transport pilot license under part 61 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations; and
    • (ii) have appropriate multi-engine aircraft flight experience, as determined by the Administrator.

The one gotcha I have read so far is a section where it says "Specific" types of training can be used to reduce the number of hours required for an ATP. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a huge loophole.

You want a bill that ALPA helped influence to help you with an avatar like that?

I do hope it becomes law WITH the 1500 hour requirement. It is rediculous to argue otherwise.

This coming from one of the biggest tool-bags from one of the worst regionals in history. You should be ashamed for even replying to a thread about higher pilot standards. It's like Michael Moore commenting on the positive aspects of capitalism. Know your place. Remember who you work for???

Military fighter types will have to avoid leaving the cockpit in order to get 1,500 hours before their commitment is up. Maybe that's the "specific" training alluded to before.

Yet it happened... the point... you got to play politics if you want to manage your air line career....

It would be GREAT if there was NO Grandfather clause. Give the current folks the 3 years and if still not ATP - KICK EM' TO THE STREET!

BAJA.
