ATP Written Reg in effect soon.
I had not heard of any changes to the requirements for an ATP. But according to this article there are BIG changes coming very soon.

After reading the article, it appears they are trying to force anyone who wants an ATP to attend either a Part 141 flight school or a 4 year college program.
From what I can tell, it will make it much harder to get an ATP.
