LO pay is the first problem. Very low pay. When you have nearly $100k in flight training debt to pay off $18,000 / year salary doesn't work out very well.
Pilot shortage or pilot pay shortage???
1500 hour requirement is ridiculous. Had nothing to do with the crash in upstate N.Y..
Not FAA but congress did this travesty. Change the requirements.

These ops are Part 135, so the part 121 req. you are referencing does not apply. See - http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=162d619f35a45f04c73288c3982813af&mc=true&node=sp14.3.135.e&rgn=div6 for 135 regs.
To fly 135 IFR however, 1200 is needed which is pretty close to 1500.
And to fly scheduled 135 as PIC requires an ATP certificate.
