These changes should be an absolute minimum, and not before time. Perhaps, not holding my breath though, with the increase in minimum requirements the pay structure may reflect the new requirements.
Having said the above, I come from a back ground where one couldn't rent a C210 unless you had at least 600hrs and a Baron unless you had 800-1000hrs. But that was a long(20+ years) time ago. Jet command didn't come until you had a few thousand on type.
Things change though.
