Currently the delay between Indoc and systems is about 3 months and the delay between systems and sims is 1-6 weeks. All in all, most have been completing SOE within 7-9 months from their first day of indoc.

Where does the ATP-CTP course slot into that time frame? Is it between Systems and Sim?

The ATP-CTP is done sometime before Indoc as you'll need to have passed your ATP written in order to start. Most do the class within the month prior to Indoc.

They definitely do. They schedule your ATP CTP, and pay for it. They're just saying that it has to be done before they send you to indoc
