Not like it really matters since I'm sure he will have plenty of time to get his TT up I'd say that he WOULD NOT be grandfathered in. The way downgrades work in the waterski world is that once you are qualified as and FO again it is like YOU WERE NEVER A CAPT (hence the reason to submit a new standing bid for the left seat) so you would have to meet all of the mins again in order to upgrade. It has never been like this before where they have changed the mins to more hours, but I'd imagine that since you need 3500 (reducible to 3000) in order to submit a standing bid for the left seat that any standing bids in the system that do not meet that will be kicked out.
