Does anyone know if this new bill only applies to regional airlines, and if not what all segments of the industry could this effect? I ask because it seems that current programs offered by schools like ATP Flight School want come close to providing enough airtime to acquire your ATP certificate. Anyone know any good alternatives (besides instructing) that under this new bill would allow a young pilot to build time to get to the regionals? Also I have heard some statements that the new time increase would make pilots in higher demand for the regionals and therefore higher pay, any opinions?
I would suggest that you read about the topic first. By educating yourself on this topic you can ask pertinent, intelligent questions. This topic has been discussed on this site for some time. The following are a few threads already established that have the opinions of many and also some facts about the bill and its progress thus far:
