Ah...well actually, no, stratocumulus, it applies to 14CFR121 ops, and has for a very long time.
Now, I will admit that IF the sectors are short, and there is a lot of duty time consumed by other than actual flying time, the 1000 hours might just be a tad too much.
I'm mostly a long haul guy, so the hours add up quickly.
Having said all this, I have yet to find a pilot who, when offered a lot more dough for the hours flown, isn't up to the task, and smiles all the way to the bank.
Up the pay, and I suspect thre complaints will disappear.
You really do get what you pay for and it has been this way for a very long time.
Malcontent managements take heed...change, or else change will pass you by, much to your disappointment.
