Im not going into this expecting anything to be paid for.

I had seen some regionals Advertising that they will cover ATP, APT CTP of candidates that meet the requirements? if this isn't the case then I am happy to be corrected on that! (to be clear I will be able to get my FAA ATP through my foreign licence and experience, and was wondering if I should get the ATP out of my own pocket or just start applying right away)

I can get the ATP through a shortened type rating course if need be, which isn't a problem.

In any case, do guys have any recommendations of any regionals to go for around the east coast and would my experience be valuable to any airline? (obviously ill take what I can get at the end of the day but always nice to have some insight)

Cheers!

Another "no clue what I am talking about" comment right here.

I have around 1500 hours currently and will probably have around 1800 by the time I come to the states.

My question to you all is, would an American regional even look at me, having a UK ATPL and two type ratings with some instructor experience. I’ll have over 1000 hours airline experience. Im totally aware my type ratings essentially mean nothing in FAA world. But just wondering if I’d have a decent chance of getting a job and maybe getting the ATP through a regional or other type (private/charter)

I can expand on the type of flying I have done if that helps, just looking for advice as it’s a massive move and just want to be as prepared as one can be!


You will just have to do a foreign license verification, and then go through the ATP CTP that all regionals provide. The verification can take a month or two, but after that any regional will grab you in a microsecond.
