The 1500 hour rule was never about experience, it was about ensuring both people legally met the requirements to hold an ATP and PIC type on the aircraft. JO is hand picking data to support his claims.
What if I was to tell you that the majority of failures are from older people deciding to start a new career in aviation? People who slowly over many years worked up to the requirements? Of course a young kid, with a fresh wet commercial, emergenging from flight school is going to do better in training with fewer issues. That's the only environment they've been exposed to for the past two to three years.
Throw them to the wild so they can time build, how they time build determines how ready they will be. Have they been flying a turboprop in a crew environment? Single pilot IFR? They'll do awesome. Carrying sky jumpers up to 7000 ft at an uncontrolled airport for the past five years? Not so much!
And let's face it, people who have failed out multiple times at other 121 carriers will get another chance at Mesa.
Back when JO could be selective as he wanted, with a never ending surplus of pilots, sure, you could mathematically make his argument, but it is completely out of context today.
The 1500 hour rule also needed to stipulate how people got to their 1500 hours to really be effective at the purpose of guaranteeing experience

No one can argue that by reducing service you are pushing people into their cars, and they are killed 100 times as often. You have a moral obligation to repeal this law, because it is injuring people.
Hahahahahaha. Ha.

I think it's a safe bet you won't have to worry about being on reserve, unless another 9/11 happens or a stock market crash.

Nice going MAGALPA. Implementation of this sorry excuse for a contract is slower and confusing. Not to mention your last FASTREAD about hotels is the same type of message you sent on multiple occasions regarding the awful properties. NOTHING HAS CHANGED EXCEPT FOR PAYRATES!!! And the pay rates are still lower than other airlines. You have brought the industry down again and I feel sorry for other airlines negotiating 900 and 175 payrates.
