Thanks to all that commented. It seems to be as expected. The FAA in their wisdom created a mandatory course, but didn't approve schools to do it. So as it stands, there can be no new ATPs issued for the foreseeable future, regardless of experience level. Not their brightest move! I actually think the course could be valuable, but should have had at least 10 schools offering it before it officially launched.
ATP website is still pending approval and PanAm is silent, except that they told me the do not offer it at this time. No other projections or time line.
Should've done it two months ago...
Good luck to all!
