ATP Written

I'm currently instructing with hopes of getting hired in a couple months (1 interview completed already(GLA) and 2 more on the way).

My question is should I take the ATP written now or wait?

I was thinking about taking it and using sheppardair. I've heard good things. Who has used sheppard and how long did you study for?

Plus once you get hired your ATP written will not expire as long as you are still employed within the airlines. I used Sheppardair.com for about 5 days and got a 96 in about 7 minutes. Highly worth it!!

ATP Written

I would second what the above poster wrote about Sheppard air. You study for about 3 hours and pull out a 96%. Best program out there.

I would get the ATP written as almost 95% of all regionals out there require it as of right now.

Get your written done. In my case it was what set me apart from the other 3 guys I interviewed with. Four years ago and I still remember the interviewer's positive reaction when he saw that I had taken it before coming in.
