Any word if the regional airlines are going to lower their mins, and accept those who qualify for a R-atp?

you'll probably have to get the reduced atp on your own and then they ll hire you. At least until all the confusion is resolved.

That's kind of the feeling I got from it. I have a few friends banking on the ATP-R exception. But by the time all the fine print it sorted out and the regionals perhaps start hiring ATP-R's I think all my friends will be well past 1500 tt.

All the airlines I talked to have been willing to at least interview me with the hopes that the FAA will have a quick turnaround.
