Seems like this may have come about in the lobbying by ALPA considering their testimony in the need for stronger academic emphasis. I still would like to see more stringent requirements to attain an ATP though like they mentioned in the testimony.

I agree, this is an interesting point.
I wonder how this would effect the enrollment / educational tracks / cirriculum, etc., at places like WMU / UND / ERAU / Other 141 training giants?
Imagine, they can no longer say, "All you need is 250 hours and we can get you a job."
They will say, "We will get you your certificates, then it's up to you to be dedicated and get some time under your belt."

I don't know what their stance on that is. I just know ALPA's testimony before the House and the Senate, which I posted several times. Seems like this may have come about in the lobbying by ALPA considering their testimony in the need for stronger academic emphasis. I still would like to see more stringent requirements to attain an ATP though like they mentioned in the testimony.

I think for the most part pilots want this and hopefully the unions will too.
This just means it is up to everyone that wants this to contact their sens/reps and let them know how they feel. Also informing the general public does amazing things. When I tell ppl I am pilot most think I am some sort of a millionaire and have no idea who/what is actually at the front of the big metal tube.

I agree with IC ALL on this one! If congress says you need an ATP, and you have one (even though its a single and you have plenty of multi time), you still have an ATP.
I knew I liked you IC ALL, even though you delete my Bill Brasky quotes!
