After reading the article, it appears they are trying to force anyone who wants an ATP to attend either a Part 141 flight school or a 4 year college program.
From what I can tell, it will make it much harder to get an ATP.
Okay, since there is confusion, NOTHING is changing with regards to flight time. Everything the article is talking about is in part 61. Read it.
The only change from how things are working now deals with prerequisites for taking the written test. You have to be endorsed with the new ATP rules and, in order to get that endorsement, you have to go through a training program.
