I'm for it.
These days if I'm doing anything regarding training (renewals, AFR, endorsments, etc.) I look for pilots with 2500+ hrs and won't go with anyone that has less. What do I care if they have a CPL or not (although all of them do, that's the current regs after all), they are the most experienced people I can find in their field.
BUT.
It's not up to either us or CASA at the end of the day.
What do the insurance companies think of it? They will set the limits, they will set the minimum requirements.
I'm seeing 1000hrs+, which is the whole point of being able to tap 'experience' in the first place, isn't it?
