the 5K is just to get the written!!!

There are airlines hiring with just the written done. You get the ATP during initial training.

This is the only way I can see it working in the long term. The first year pay is paying for the type rating and training as is. I don't think the Regionals will see this as a big deal... At least I hope not...

An update; the regionals have now started incorporating what they call the "CATP" training into their new hire courses. You get hired, go through the sim training then take the ATP written. I believe this was the intent of the law in the first place.

I have not yet seen any viable options for 135 or 91 guys.

ExpressJet airlines is offering the ATP COURSE for all new hires who haven't completed the written.

This ^. Degrees can be completed online while you build time, which is more valuable in the long run.

Agreed with the above. I'm currently taking Embry Riddle classes online and it costs as much as the University near my house. I also have an aerial survey job now so I'm traveling a lot and don't see home until June. So, get the degree while you go out and fly. Complete the course work on your own time and schedule.

Envoy is too. My guess is that all of the regionals will soon.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:54 AM.
