As of right now, the FAA requires that you have 1500 hours before being able to apply for a job with an Airline/ Air operator. That came into affect in 2013 when a Regional Flight went down. Which then made hours go from 250 to 1500. Day by day airline are loosing pilot due to the retirement age of 65 and in turns is decreasing the amount flights that are available. The industry has been hurting since then as is only going to get worse if we can't get more pilots in the cockpits. Aviation is a big part of economies everywhere and they will also start to hurt if we can't get more people around the world (more flights) and create more commerce. This is a petition to try and lower the required hours to a fair amount.
