I rushed to get my ATP back when they announced the rule change because I believed pilots would still be on the hook to pay for it - except instead of $3k in a light twin it was now $20k at some training center. It became a pilots market though hence airlines paying for it. After all this that’s not gonna happen though.

Remember, people used to pay for their own types during the lost decade. Now during this next one they’ll be paying for their own ATPs as well.
