Gone troppo. Just out of interest how did you clock so many hours with no fare paying pax?
How to cap with out penalising chaps like yourself? Perhaps a cap based on commercial flying activity. Its a hard question.
In Britain i think they use aptitude tests to start off with. I'm not saying the should be super super hard just saying to cut some fat off. Have you seen how many students those sausage factories pump out? Its ridiculous and it makes it harder for the bloke who is trying to make a living out of flying and who hasn't taken it up cause it looks cool or might improve your chances at pulling roots.
Cap the numbers and see what happens. Make it harder and see who sticks with it.
My thoughts.
