Most regionals will pay for the CTP course. You get your ATP at the end of your initial training at the airline. I'm currently attending the ACT program at Coast Flight Training in San Diego. Our school has you interview with at least one regional before you start training. You receive a conditional offer that is contingent upon completion of the course and successful completion of the technical portion of the airline's interview process. Essentially, they knock out the HR portion before you start training. Most VA students are covered 100% by the post-911 GI Bill, including their private. You graduate with an associates in aviation, PPL, instrument rating, CPL (single and multi), CFI, CFII and MEI.
