I don't have the ATP and don't really want to buy it. However, that said, I will spend the $1,500 to $2,000 and get it if necessary to get me the right job. I've really just started this search. I set myself up a spreadsheet with all the potential leads from this site and others.
I just went and looked and see that I couldn't be a FO as they require 20,000kg or 44,092lbs PIC time. I do the the Second Officer Fast Track listing but am just not sure how that works.
Do you think it would be money well spent to go ahead and buy the ATP?
