I interpret it to mean that when the bill into effect, all -121 will need atp/1500. I think this is the same thing the Fed was saying, more or less. Sounds like the Feds already thought of this and are figuring out how to implement the bill, and how it will directly affect any pilots with less than their ATP.

If this were the case and they had 3 years to get 1500, there would be no pilots at 121 carriers with under ATP mins anyway. From the date it's put into place carriers won't be able to hire with less than ATP mins. Say a pilot was hired tomorrow with 500 TT, it couldn't possibly take someone 3 years to reach 1500 TT.
