If this is the model now, it should all be integrated and designed to produce successful ATP pilots - especially for us former military guys who may not be familiar with certain aspects of civilian/airline flying such as Jepp charts, weight and balance calculations, and civilian weather services. It’s a lot to learn in a short period of time and the process is sub-optimized.
Unfortunately the FAA mandates what gets taught in the CTP course.
