Yea, this is confirmed. I took the CTP course on my own back in 2015 and there were several active FO's as well as a few who were coming back from prolonged absence (medical loss, military, etc) who were taking the course to get in compliance with the law. I believe the "1500 hour rule" is basically that now, all 121 pilots must have ATP, FO and CA. Im pretty sure there is no grandfathering.
