Ran into a 756 evaluator. Says he currently can’t give an ATP only a type rating - unlike Regional Evaluators. He recently talked to a FAA inspector he knows from TK. Inspector says United is applying to give initial ATP’s for new hires like Regionals do now.
So at some time in the future I expect we will be hiring 1500 CFI’s directly to mainline like Spirit is looking to do now.
Yeah ALPA says there’s no pilot shortage, right!
Got the CJO with just under 2100 total time here, no military background no TPIC.
