How far out from ATP minimums are they suggesting applicants apply?

Last time I heard you could apply within 6 months of reaching mins

6 month for FO and 12 month for RTP depending on the situation with retirement, CSP, Skillbridge, ADSO orders.

If you already have all your ratings, I’d suggest just applying as an FO and timebuilding prior to applying to get to the R-ATP mins. You can get into ATP-CTP and FO training almost immediately and it lessens any financial responsibilities.

Ok cool. I am only at 370TT right now, but that’s about to accelerate because I’m about to go work at a larger school in Florida in a few weeks. Maybe I’ll be ready to apply around New Years

What school can get you around 800 hours TT in 4 months? 👀

Well maybe that was a bit of a stretch, but perhaps closer to February/March

Are you guys doing direct entry captains with folks that have 121 time? If so, how long to hold captain in DCA. What’s the flow looking at right now?

We are not hiring DECs at the moment. But you can upgrade as soon as you complete FO IOE. Which isn’t a bad thing. DEC or wait 4-5 months from date of hire to upgrade after gaining a little experience on the line won’t matter much in the grand scheme of things.

Flow as it stands now is about 8-10 years for a new hire. But we are currently in discussions with management / AA to increase the flow. If it increases to roughly double the 10 /month we are at now your flow time could drop to anywhere from 6-8 years realistically.

No backlogs but training does have a week or two built where nothing really goes on I’ve heard. You can still expect to finish in around 3 months for initial. Bring your car to DAY for initial.
