No grandfather clause for FOs. Those with the degree are going on a paid vacation I guess until ATP gets their program approved. Those that don't have the time looks like the company is paying to build your time in "specified" company aircraft, don't know how they will do that. Seems captains with less than 1000 SIC time get an exception but FOs don't? Crazy world we live in.
