i just found an ad for the ctp (the course required to take atp me written after aug 1st) allatps is offering it with training given at higher power aviation. just $4995. im very surprised so inexpensive. 6 hours in sim , 4 hours in ftd and 30 hours ground school given by atp pilot with at least 2 years experience in 121 ops. i expected course to be 10 to 12 grand. by the way still waiting to find out whether canadian atp license holders will be required to take this course or not before taking the atp faa conversion written test. if not, would be a great loop hole for those who have the faa cpl and 1500 hours, , go to canada convert to canadian cpl/ifr/me (its easy) then take the samara/saron written (its their atp test) then the check ride. then take the 40 question atp usa conversion test
and now you have 2 atp licenses for about the price of one and you have bypassed the ctp and save 5 grand !
