I've been wondering for a little while now, how soon the pool of "employable pilots" will run out: Insurance companies are insisting on fairly high numbers of (particularly) turbine hours and the guys with those sorts of hours are moving towards retirement (I know, I know, you're not all crumblies, folks ) and the folks without those kinds of hours can't get them ('cos the insurance companies are insisting ...)

It's unlikely that the insurance companies will reduce their experience requirements, probably more likely that they'll keep increasing them. So, at some point, no-one will be able to insure the only pilots they can employ (or find the only pilots they can insure).
