I am in the same boat as the other guy. ATP Written taken July 2014 and expires July 2016. Currently at 1300 hrs with pt 135 right seat position in a Hawker and just purchased a Cherokee 140 to do pt 61/91 instruction in as a hour booster. Sprinting to the 1500 hr finish line as fast as I can to save myself from taking the $5000+ CTP course if I miss the ATP Written expiration mark.
Anything is possible with a little determination and flying your a$$ off.
& Good luck to all those in the same situation.
