Time will tell. Assuming it passes. I think it will eventually but maybe not immediately.
Part of my thinking is that this is just piece of getting the ATP rule adjusted. “We changed the retirement age and it didn’t do enough!”. I can’t see many guys who bid 2-4 Europe/Asia trips a month at the big 3+brown/purple decide to do two years of hub turns on a narrowbody.
