Only one place this can be settled. May take up to 1500 hours give or take……

Do you want the AOPA article which links the major changes

There is a lot to unpack there so I just want to focus on a previous statement you made :

I knew this statement to be demonstrably false. I posted a screenshot of the 1978 FAR part 61.159 Aeronautical Experience which in part reads:
"... applying for an airline transport pilot certificate with an airplane category and class rating must have at least 1,500 hours of total time..."
That should make it very obvious (other changes aside) that no changes were made to the ATP minimum time requirements in 2009.

Talking about that statement and only that statement, based on that information provided (or any other proof you want to provide) was your statement about the change in minimum time correct or incorrect?

This is not false. You can get a list of articles talking about this change from AOPA, to the NABA to simple publications that have extensive articles leading up to it and after. Are you stating you don’t. Need 1500 hours for a ATP license and it’s always been that way to work for a 121 or 135? Anywho… it wasn’t false, and I’ll just stop here. If you want to get a beer that would be nice.

1500 hours is a lot. What part about that requires a flight over the continental divide? Why not build time flying to La Junta?

I fly over the mountains all the time… a lot of it is good experience.

DM seems to be the best way forward here.

This is the second time you have said "discussion over". That's enough.

The hell is that? Carb heat? Where’s the oven for my meal, and where do I change into my cruise jammie’s in that thing???? Please don’t tell me there’s no CPDLC, I’m not sure I could handle talking all the time.



Man I’m soft now. I wonder if my H10-13.4 even fits anymore.

I agree with Ken on this one.
