If the new Part 121B rules pass without change - then the 150 - 200 hour CPL will not be enough to get a start;
Legally!.
Under the proposed Part 121B (Air Transport under 5700kg);
Single-Engine Day VFR charter will require a minimum of 100 hours PIC (as well as the current 5 hours on class/type).
With most CPL newbies entering the big wide world with 70 hours PIC & 80-100 hours dual - The private op's such as meat Bombing and Station work will suddenly become quite valuable & sort after.
The guys/girls in the box seat will be the ones who completed a 'non-approved course' i.e. have held a PPL for some time and upgraded to a CPL.
