The website clearly states one must have an "ATP certificate"! So yes, the company currently hires only those who hold an ATP! However, it matters because the rules have changed considerably and any ATP is not the same as an ATP with MEL privileges! One could have an ATP SEL, MES, SES, Rotorcraft, Powerlift, Airship, etc. and a "commercial multi instrument" and qualify for an interview because they hold an ATP certificate with the multi-engine land at the commercial level!

Hence, the need for an in house ATP-CTP program and ATP MEL written exam prior to commencing Part 121 training. Why would the website be very specific in listing these exact requirements unless 1. They offer an ATP-CTP course with ATP MEL written exam or 2. They are ignorant of the current FARs... which I doubt! When it comes to 121 hiring, not all ATP's are equal!
