ATP required for 121 now?

[Erlanger]

Is this a proposal or is this an FAR now?

doesn't say MEL, just says ATP. Go out and get your SEL APT in a C-172, that will certainly raise the level of experience in the cockpit

Especially when your certificate says "APT". LOL!

I would think you guys would be all FOR any effort to raise the intellectual requirements to get a job as an airline pilot.....

You do realize that making it harder to be an airline pilot will help the pay go up....

When I first started out in this business I had an APT. It was on the second floor. It was okay, except sometimes the neighbors got a little noisy.

So current FO's will be canned and replaced by new FO's that went to a puppy mill ATP school?
Awesome!

It must have been. Patty Wagstaff's mechanic was my neighbor, and all she flew were Extra 300's, and most of them were SEL. Makes complete sense.

Second sentence:

statutory requirement for all pilot
flightcrew members to have or obtain an appropriate ATP certificate by August 2, 2013
