"Note that 121.436(a)(3) doesn't apply if you've served as PIC under Part 121 prior to July 31, 2013." I want to be fairly accurate in a novel I'm writing--would your comment mean that if the main character gets into the right seat of a regional carrier in 2011 and moves to left seat in 2012, that he wouldn't need to meet the new ATP requirements that were installed in 2013? Thanks. I won't be including much detail in the book, but want to be close to accurate in what I present.
