No,it is not. 400 / 500 / 1000, it all depends what job you have to do.
But hey, as you said, if you are paid 12$ an hour flying a 44, why are they complaining about pilot shortage?
So, a pilot has the same level as a fast food employee? Seriously?
Why anybody will spend so much money to be told he will be a slave for, well, a number of years.....and nobody knows how big this number is.....
As long as this attitude will exist in the industry, more and more people will do something else.
So, they can complain about pilot shortage and aircraft down, good for them, I hope they will have more because nobody is interested in respecting a guy who has the passion and will to do this job but will be destroyed by this industry.
Yes, for me 500 hours was a magic number, because it opened the door to the R44 tour jobs that generally don't require a cfi rating,...despite how depressingly low their pay was!

I may have thrown off my shackles to do "something else", but there was (and will always be) plenty of desperate lowtimers out there to take my place!

,...even during this current "pilot shortage"!

Things will ever change, so you may as well accept it,...'cause no one's going to cry and no aircaft will be grounded, if you quit!
