If the training is so important, and I believe it is, then it should be required as part of the regional's training program.

Regionals failing will mean years of pilots on the streets...no?

I've been out of this loop for a long time so forgive my ignorance, but regionals have to provide full types to new hires anyway. Why would including the ATP be a big deal? At least back in my day, the ATP and an initial type ride was essentially the same thing. I don't remember spending any extra time in the sim, at least. Has that all changed?

IMHO, the law was written with a quality new-hire training process in mind. The lawmakers envisioned airlines following suit and getting their new-hire class certified as an ATP-CTP. However, there are still 24 months to go before the last of the pilots who took their ATP written before the deadline will need a new test. The airlines aren't feeling the full pressure of this new law yet. I think they eventually will feel that pressure and most will make their new-hire program ATP-CTP capable.

No, the FAA put a use by date on the old expired tests and started over again on August 1 if you want an ATP-ME. If all you want is a SE or Helo rating you're still good to go. See 61.39(b) and (c).
