Thanks for info.

It is to be seen if this will bring more problems that it solves.
At first sight it sounds good, of course. But murphy law is unavoidable.
Every solution brings new problems.

In the USA, pilots can find ways to build time and get paid for it, or so it used to be years ago. If airline needs are supplied by these kind of pilots, the bill is a good one. Otherwise they have to allow for an alternate path to the RHS (not based on pay, pay and pay again, please!).

In Europe, if they did that there would be a lot of pilots spending a lot of money to build that time (good bussiness for FLA schools!) because general aviation there is a joke, almost non-existent. Still, if the "alternate path" that the americans should include in the bill, imho, was reasonable, then Europe could follow.

Let's see what happens
