Benefits of paying for ATP-CTP
Planning on paying for my own ATP-CTP to give me more opportunities with 135 operations and maybe ULCCs. Would this also help me out with getting looked at by a regional? So far silence from all the regionals except for Republic.

Keep in mind that if you get the ATP and do the whole thing on your own, ATP's are a dime a dozen.

I paid for my ATP (ATP-CTP, written, and practical in a Piper Seneca) during Covid since there wasn't much going on with my non-flying job. Once my daughter can drive in January, I'm going to fly for a living. So far, I have applied to a couple ULCC and the regionals that have bases around me, but that was only in the past week or so after getting my medical refreshed. Flexjet and Netjets told me to wait until October to apply for a January start date. Commutair told me they were not hiring until after the first of the year.
The full rating probably cost me 10K on my own to obtain but does allow me to apply to more places. Once everybody starts the first job, then every applicant has their ATP, so doesn't really help afterwards. The good part about having the rating for my first job is that I don't have to answer the PTS oral questions on weather, human factors, air carrier operations, CFR, etc.. for the checkride. My sim partner from ATP-CTP in 2020 just started at American Airlines, but I regress. |

just an fyi if you’re in aqp or even a 121 type ride the oral portion is basically a systems and sop quiz. They don’t change the questioning based on if you have it or not. It’s the same oral. |
