We now return you to you regularly scheduled program....
The proposed legislation gives 2 (or is it 3?) years for implementation after it is passed. If/when airlines hire before that due date they will not be held to the 1500/ATP mins.
To drive this further off topic...
Anyone think there will be a mass hiring before the rules take effect in order to get as many low time FOs as possible (so that they wont be able to leave for greener pastures, and probably willing to work for lower wages)?
Someone take the wheel and get this thread back on the road!
