I would respectfully disagree. The new rules will force companies to hire guys with an ATP. Companies will continue to hire the highest quality folks they can find, just from the ruling going forward, they will all have an ATP.
Pay scales are determined by contract negotiations, nothing more. It is not what you are worth, it is what you can negotiate into your contract.
