If you look at other posts around here, you will find that just about everybody supports the changeover to ATP. It is airlines and management that don't want this because they know they will have difficulty finding people who are that experienced to fly for the poor wages and working conditions that are currently status quo.
A more pertinent question is are you? Are you an Air Transport Pilot? You are correct that the ATA will fight this tooth and nail. But difficulty in finding people to fly for those poor wages is the whole idea. Safety however should trump the economics of it. Flying revenue passengers is not the place for OJT.
