Just become a CFI. You can still sign up for their Cadet program and get a conditional offer letter. It's non binary, you dont have to use the ATI, and you'll still get 7500+ATP/CTP as well as a walk in to a class date right when you get your hours.
Don't let a recruiter tell you what your ATP-CTP is worth in money (or bonus that you're getting "paid" for) because every single regional will pay for it. Some even start paying YOU while you're in the ATP-CTP training. Some even let you quit after the ATP-CTP no questions asked/no back pay. So literally you could get employed, get the certificate, quit and go somewhere else for $0.
Stop following the big fake numbers these recruiters are selling and challenge their responses.
