I know, but I have heard of a select few civ peeps paying for it out of their own pocket for various other reasons.

I知 currently flying part 135 in Citations with 1350 TT and 350 turbine, and my experience in pistons is fairly diverse as well. I should be hitting atp mins with 500 turbine in March. I知 trying to avoid the regionals which is why I知 looking at paying for the course myself. My plan was to do the course locally and try to get on with FlexJet for a few years, but it definitely sounds like it could be worth it to go through Delta if it leads to a job with them sooner. I definitely like the company a lot, especially since my stepdad flies for them. I just have to decide if I知 willing to sign on with them knowing I値l be commuting for 30 years when United has a domicile in my home city.
I mean since the Delta course is not exorbitantly more expensive than other options you may as well do it, and if Delta hires you put that application in for UA as soon as the ink is dry on your ATP and see what happens. UA might scoop you up fairly quick and you can make the decision then.
