Well the big problem we are having getting new seaplane guys down here is that, because of the new regs introduced in August, you now have to have 50 hours in category and class to take an ATP.

This means that in order to obtain an AMES ATP you need at least 50 hours AMES. We have been working with the FAA hoping to find a way to get around this but, at this time, anyone wanting to fly the seaplane here will need this.

Yes. It is category and class. ASEL, ASES, AMEL, AMES are different categories and classes.

You caught me, my intention with the second mention of pay was related to the pay scale after upgrade.
