Any word if the regional airlines are going to lower their mins, and accept those who qualify for a R-atp?
My guess is that it will take at LEAST a couple of months. Remember how there was speculation that the final rule was going to be released august of last year? Government never is in a rush... I imagine it will be a while till they figure out this big mess.

I doubt airlines will lower their mins below 1500. they don't want to hire somebody who supposedly qualified for reduced mins only to find out on check ride day that somethings not quite right... or worse find out after he's on line!

you'll probably have to get the reduced atp on your own and then they ll hire you. At least until all the confusion is resolved.

That's kind of the feeling I got from it. I have a few friends banking on the ATP-R exception. But by the time all the fine print it sorted out and the regionals perhaps start hiring ATP-R's I think all my friends will be well past 1500 tt.

I don't know if that's true- I got a job offer from a regional and I only have 1100. I know I won't get to 1500 by the end of the year at my job, since flying will drop off for the winter. All the airlines I talked to have been willing to at least interview me with the hopes that the FAA will have a quick turnaround.

So a regional is going to hire and train you in the hopes that you'll be legal to take an ATP checkride in a few weeks? Let me guess, mesa?

3 different airlines and no, not Mesa.
