For all you regional FO's out there (and anyone else who may know) I am wondering if the new ATP requirement is being discussed and/or implemented in your training department.
There is some chatter starting at Skywest but nothing concrete yet. Some are saying that we will get an ATP as part of our next trip to sim but it seems there may be much more involved. Can it be done from the right seat? Would it be the normal few questions for an oral or would you have to prep for something more in line with the oral/checkride like you get when you upgrade?
It seems to me like we should get some communication going about this or people could be in for a rude awakening.
