Oopsies...maybe that YKF-YVR red-eye isn't the best idea

Coltan resulted in better training, better rest, and better experience. 1500 hours was part of many new regulations that resulted in a safer industry, arguably its worked given the last 10 years of safety in the US. Meanwhile, we have less training, less rest, and less experience.

"Arguably it's worked" is another way to say that you feel like it's worked but don't have proof.

I repeat, the 1500 hour rule would not have prevented the Colgan Air crash as both pilots had a lot more than that amount anyway. The crash had nothing to do with experience.

Whether it applied to the Colgan crew or not, we need a 1500h rule here in canada as well. It’s done nothing but good in the USA.

That's why it'll never happen
