i know, my ATP checkride was scheduled for 4/13 and the total cost was going to be roughly $1500. However, i am pretty sure I will be furloughed from my current employer and if other regionals are giving it out as a part of initial training, it doesn't really make sense for me to pay for it out of my own pocket. I just wanted to know if this practice was going on anywhere, especially with the new change in FO qualifications thats about to come.
