Not true - if you have an ATP before August 1st or whatever and you are already on property you have 2 yrs to get it. All new hires post rule change have to have ATP/Type combo tho.

Yes your new airline should give you a PIC type since you were not with them flying as an SIC in August when the rule went into effect.

This raises an interesting conundrum for less desirable U.S. airlines. Joe Pilot can get hired at XYZ Lousy Airline, go through new hire training and then walk with a PIC type. While not for everyone, foreign carriers usually require a type for their more lucrative expat jobs. Seems like an easy way to get a free type and then bail.
Additionally does this mean SWA will drop the type rating requirement? What are the ramifications then to the various type rating schools around the country? I can't see anyone buying a 737 type rating again.
There's always fallout when the feds change a regulation.

Makes sense but what if everyone collectively said no to training contracts? Do you think the regionals would just stop hiring? With 19,000 age 65 retirements coming in the next 9 years my guess is no, they won't stop hiring.

Most, if not all, will require 500 or more hours PIC (P1) time as well. An "empty" type rating is worthless overseas in most cases.
