Hi!
The ATP is the key! There will be NO exemptions for the requirement to have an ATP to fly -121. Will the FAA allow you to suddenly get an ATP with 500 hours in the future, when it's 1500 now? Does that make any sense?
Also, the ATP will have MORE requirements attached to it, not less, so in that sense, it will be harder to get.
Congress has made LAW that says the ATP is required, and the ATP requirement will be IN EFFECT before 1 Aug 2013. There is no grandfathering, and this 3 years period is the time given to the aviation organizations to adjust to the changes in the law/regulations.
Also, the new Rest/Duty/Flight rules will be in use prior to 1 Aug 2011, and will be a BIG change for Regionals and -121 supplemental organizations. For the majors, it won't be a big deal.

I believe that is incorrect. Since the ATP is in part 61, part 61 defines cross country as 50nm or great. Except for the ATP, it just doesn't have to include a landing, just 50nm away. Too many military guys complained and they changed that.
The point to point thing you were referring to I believe is for 135 mins. that requires 500hours of XC time but does not specify distance. I often do touch and goes at other airports with students, mainly because ours gets too busy. Benefits us both!

I know this has all been talked about before but the largest pilot Union in the world is making a case for lowering the hourly requirement. Buried in the details of their position, they made it very clear that they want the minimums lowered to 750 hours and class credit to count for the remaining 750 hours. The details are here:

Keep in mind, the feds are also providing certain credit for your background. An example is if you came from a 141 training school, or have operated in a crew environment. This will help many of those who are not quite to the 1500 mark.
