If there is no grace period, then what a disaster for those employed but not yet at 1500. Talk about forced furloughs. Regardless, I hope someone with some sense relays what an idiotic idea mandatory icing experience is. People will die trying to meet this requirement. I thought the whole idea was safety?
You are looking at it the wrong way. The type of person that would put their life in danger to get icing experience is not the kind of person you want in the front of an airliner.
I say let the idiots who want to build icing time in the wrong kind of airplane try it......it will kill all the dumb and unlucky pilots leaving only the smart and lucky ones left.
If you are willing to put your life in danger just to build some time for the chance to get hired at a crappy regional......you have no business flying airplanes.
