It was Congress, not the FAA’s technical experts, who demanded the pilot hours be changed to 1500 hours minimum after the Colleen crash. Which, by the way, had nothing to do with 1500 hours.

In short- the only way to change the 1500 hours minimum after rule is to get Comgress to approve another number. Not likely to happen.
