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.
Yes, and the training program must be in a FFS in a "heavy" aircraft. It's the FFS requirement that will drive up the price of the course and hinder competition. The NSP won't let just anyone "sponsor" a FFS device.
