MI, it won't be a big change for those who already have a jet type, but for guys like me who does not have that but more than 500 hrs TP (current regs requirement) it makes a big difference. The training cost will probably go up by a couple of grand depending on aircraft. As I see it this will mostly affect younger guys/gals with less experience, or folks like me making the step from a TP into a jet.
I am fortunate enough to be in the right seat program at SimuFlite, which gives me a free type in exchange for my work, and began Citation X initial yesterday simply due to avoid the extra cost due to the new reg. I will beat it by a few days, puh
