I thought it had to be multi-engine. Is there somewhere that states single or multi? Company, or 135 reg? That would definitely cut down the cost.

Needs to be multi ATP, they check that at the interview

Call All ATPs and knock it out in 2 days. I did it in So Cal in a light twin. MUST be a multi. Checkride was a joke.

I might just do that. Not just to apply at NJ, but other Fracs and corporate departments. I'm done with this 121 stuff.

places for the ATP

Hey, just throwing in my 2 cents. I was in the very same boat not long ago. Check out Accessible Aviation down in Mississippi. It's about $500 less than AllATPs, and it includes the examiner's fee and lodging; so all told, at least $800 - $900 less. 2-3 training flights (they'll even pick up the tab on another extra training flight, if you need it), and check ride all done in a Seneca. It has a glass EHSI too, which helped me after not having flown anything pure steam-gauged in over 6 years. They've used the same examiner for years; the checkride was cake. You know EXACTLY what's gonna happen on it.
