Reactions to H.R.3371
Googled the bill and found many places where people are commenting on H.R.3371. The following is just a very small sampling of what I found.
H.R. 3371: Airline Safety and Pilot Training Improvement Act of 2009 Res Communis
"I think this is a great idea. From reading the comments on this bill, it will take a few years to graduate from a college aviation program to being qualified to fly for an airline.
A few years compared to a 30 year career?
As a traveling art designer, I want to fly with someone who flew for a few years in props before getting hired at an airline. My firm won’t hire anyone without at least 5 years experience, regardless of what school they went to.
Why should aviation be any different?"

"This Bill is TERRIFIC!!! It is about time we take these unqualified 250-400 hrs pilots out of jets. Take a look at these commuter crews the next time you are an airport that serves commuter airlines. The crews are tired looked, dogged, soiled uniforms, female pilots with no makeup/messy hair, scuffy shoes, grooming a mess. Yes, I toally agree with this move. I remember where I was at 250 hrs and I would never be qualifed to fly a RJ jet. Only cheating myself. Retired Corporate Captain."

My guess? If you are on furlough then you are being called back to a job as opposed to applying for it.

No-one needs an ATP for three years. Regardless of whether or not you're applying on furlough or currently flying. The language is quite clear. Don't worry bud.
