My anecdotal data points are that Mil ATP CTP guys “jump” Mil non-ATP CTP guys in getting an interview invite. Apparently on Mil forums it’s not “what were your quals,” but rather “did you do the ATP-CTP program?” I guess there are a few frustrated mil guys that regret not doing DAL’s ATP-CTP program.
This is true in a manner of speaking. I did the ATP-CTP program with Delta a couple of years ago, and the company promised an immediate App review upon submission after completing the course. The company offered this as a perk for doing the course with them. Upon submission of the App, guys would email the Delta ATP-CTP POC for the App review. Guys in my class (myself included) received App reviews and subsequent interview invites within 1-2 weeks of notifying the POC that our Apps were submitted. To this day, it was the best $4,995 I ever spent
