Hey guys I'm former XJ Mesaba FO on on the Saab 340 I was furloughed back in 2010. During that time I've paid most if my debt off, bought some rental properties and started a small business. I've reach a point where I'm somewhat financially stable.
Long story short-
I am seriously thinking about rejoining the regionals
I haven't touched a plane in 3 years but shouldn't take me long to get back in the grove
my stats;
Age 33
First class medical
1650 TT
815 Turbine (all Saab)
Reside; NY metro area
QOL is most important
And I rather not Commute ...lol
I'm hoping to start applying by March or April -depending if how quickly to get back my competency
Questions:
I have not yet taken ATP written. Ive heard some carriers have ATP CTP
Approved course. Anyone knows which ones ?
How will the regionals view my lack of recent time ?
Is taking a CRJ course advisable ? If so how much and who provided training ?
Any other tips, tricks, books, comments are welcomed from the APC family
Thanks everyone ahead if time
