Going forward you either keep what you have, or die.
If you can rationalize a way to ignore the whole oil issue, the hiring picture looks good.

I honestly don't think any ATP/1500 rule is worth the paper it's written on.
I expect any number of the following to continue bid-nes as usual:
1. College training exemptions, lead by ERAU, UND, et al.
2. Military trained exemptions
3. Airline sponsored training exemptions
4. Ab initio program exemptions
5. Multi-Pilot License exemptions
6. "Emergency" exemptions when airlines scream they have to cancel flights since they can't find any more kids who are qualified and want to work for $20k.

It seems that this would satisfy nearly everyone. Enhances the pilot supply pool, provides upward movement for those currently trapped at regionals, gives the seasoned citizen crowd a chance to work longer.

I haven't heard even as much as a peep regarding this. Seems like 65 is about it. There comes a point at which skills diminish and reaction time slows. Sorry to say but until I see congress discussing this on the hill seriously, no truth to it.
