I think(hope) any sensible airline will change it to minimum X hours between March 2019 and February 2020, or the previous 12 months, whichever is greater.

Totally get your frustration in the meantime.

I totally agree, in the end it’s all about supply and demand ; we know that in times of pilot shortage airlines tend to be veeery loose with their requirements and that’s another funny thing. The same operator shifts over time from recruiting astronauts straight out of the Soyuz to people with a few hundred hours of bush flying depending upon how many deliveries they are getting every month.
Anyhow fingers crossed for all of those who have been hit by this effin’ mess and are grounded despite being good professionals.
cheers.
