Waste a lot of time in training breaking bad habits pilots acquire while trying to quickly get to 1500 hours. A university of north dakota study highlights these concerns comparing pilots hired before the rule with those hired after. The results showed pilots hired after the rule had a significantly higher number of total flight hours but were more likely to need additional training.
