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.
Many of the airlines i.e. Skywest will train you so you will not need the 5000 course. I am fewer hours at 820. I asked my friend who works for Skywest about taking the ATP course and she said that is a not necessary. Unless you just want to get the ranting. But from what I have seen is ATP hours eligible not necessary to have the ATP to get hired
