I believe theirs are contracted to FSI or FTI.
That’s kind of a silly assertion from their recruiter. The ATP-CTP training curriculum requires 30 hours of classroom instruction and 10 hours of simulator training. That works out to nearly 8 hours of class time for 4 days. I highly doubt that CommutAir’s program then sticks people in the sim for 10 hours on the 5th day but if they did, Godspeed to them.

ExpressJet doesn’t contract it out. It’s ExpressJet instructors and ExpressJet sims.
