I am a late comer in my early 40's that flew off and on for myself the last 20 before becoming an instructor if that makes a difference. Thanks!
While you may meet the mins, it’s going to be a pretty big transition for you whether you go to the regionals or Netjets. The ATP-CTP may be paid for at the regionals but they will pay you less. Or you can purchase the ATP-CTP in the hopes of getting on with NJ which pays more.
I think other people have posted that NJ is still interviewing without the ATP written. If that is true, you can wait until you can get the offer and then buy the ATP written.
