I really have no problem with an experience criteria

Nor I, but it would make more work for FCC. Right now
anyone can go from any license class or no license at all
to Extra in one exam session. An experience requirement
would mean that many hams would need at least two exam
sessions and two FCC paperwork cycles to get to Extra.
More admin work = not something FCC would like.


Any idea what percent of people actually pass both
the General and the Extra in one session?

I suspect the number is relatively small.
