That comment was never suggesting that I would like things to go back to the way they were. What I was doing was agreeing with the sentiment from previous posters that 440hours is not enough hours to be looking for a second job. It was later revealed that Florider had to leave the job due to personal family reasons.
Should we be going back to they way it was (ie 2500 hours in a single before a twin) I sincerely hope not, however, in addition I would not like the situation to accelerate to the point where it is common place to do 200 hours in one job before moving on, or to be put on a high performance piston twin straight out of flying school, I think that would (and has recently) create unneccessary risk.
