The point I was originally trying to make.....
New Training Rule To Cost Upcoming ATPs Thousands of Dollars | Aviation International News
Simuflite and FSI are already the leaders in the business.....they already have the staff, the classrooms, the simulators, the regulatory paperwork, etc. in place to meet the 30hr ground and 10hr flight requirements.....they also have the FAA approval and can easily get any approval required because the FAA is already onsite on a daily basis. In DFW, the FAA has a brand new building and an entire staff of aviation safety inspectors (formerly at the FTW flight standards office) dedicated to nothing but part 142 oversight among the local training centers......an entire building full of inspectors!! Each and every aircraft requiring a type rating or specific training (ie: King Air 200) has its own "group" of safety inspectors. I promise 142 training centers will be the "go to" facilities for this training in the future. Sorry to disappoint, but come August, passing an ATP ride will not as easy as booking some heavy sim time and flying to the required standards.

Yep... and that's why I am taking the ATP written in July, in hopes that by 2016 I can hit 1500. I suggest people in similar situations do the same. Unfortunately I cannot convince some of my friends and coworkers about this.

I would assume that after the first 12 months or so, the airlines will start including the training, they'll be forced to once they start to see a bunch of their 1500 hour applicants need it. Would suck to miss the deadline and have 1500 hours but still not be hirable until you fork over the thousands of $$ yourself though, and unfortunately that will happen bc I've talked to several people who had never heard of this somehow.

Well, then they deserve to pay the price. This is has been looming on the horizon for YEARS. If you don't take the test by the cut off then have to foot the bill, I have zero sympathy for your stupidity.

I know this is a forum for regionals, but I think any opportunity to quash the notion that there is pilot shortage for the entire industry should be taken.
