I have a question, because I don't remember much from high school civics. Doesn't there have to be another bill that passes the senate, then merged and then signed by the president in order to become a law? If that is the case, I think we still have a long way to go with this.

Heyas,
I'd remind everyone that this is just the house version of the bill. From what I understand, there is considerable resistance to the "flight school waiver" part of the bill on the senate.
Odds are 50/50 this thing even comes out of the senate looking the same...

I would bet that by the time the bill actually passes (congress/senate) you should have your 1500 (unless you are on reserve and don't fly AT ALL which I highly doubt). A standard PC should take care of you at that point
