Great: if you have flown 1500 hours in a crappy old Cessna and get one of those get a CPL in a week courses Commercial Pilot Training - Accelerated Commercial Pilot License - Flight Training Course (ASEL) you are such a good Aviator! That will make our industry soo much safer!

What will the lawmakers come up with next: it is better to get a crappy medic who has put on 1500 bandaids then a properly trained Doctor because although he was trained better but only admitted 250 bandaids... Clearly it is quantity that counts and not quality in the land of the blind LOL

Ohh and while we at it: Don't bother to look at impossible workschedules, salaries at regionals that push pilots in bunkhouses, lack of oversight by the FAA, cheap training by the regional airlines and all the other reasons that where at the core of the ColganAir crash! Those things don't make for great soundbites in Congress so go for the easy mistake instead...
