Again, to reiterate, this is less a problem in the USA from whence you hail Guppy because of the 1500 hour rule.
The impending 1,500 hour requirement, while a step in the right direction, is really only window dressing. 1,500 hour requirements won't make any difference at all. 1,500 hours is nothing, and it will find application only in the entry-level jobs, anyway.
The difference between a 1,500 hour pilot and a 250 hour pilot is inconsequential save for whatever experience (not hours) that he or she may have accumulated, tempered with his or her ability to accept and apply good training.
