I fully believe there won't be more than 100 ATP written tests done this year.

Who in their right mind is going to fork over 4500 for a damn written

That capacity would still have to be filled by someone else.

I was unable to take the written before the deadline because I wasn't 21 at the time. I currently fly 135 freight with a HORRIBLE QOL. I'd like to work my way to a regional within a month or two. I'm lucky enough to be debt free, and I was able to save enough to pay for the course. Should I just fork over the $4500....I can't fly cargo for another year in hopes that a airline will get a course going

Bingo, I'd rather see two pilots paid a respectable wage than six pilots making garbage wages.

Nope. When it comes to flight marketing and sales, frequency is king.

Assuming the data point is correct:

How many got the written done before the deadline? Are we just looking at a temporary drop?

How many are just waiting for more programs to open up? How many applications are in the pipeline?

I was under the impression that a regional airline training program counts as an approved program. If so, most will just go to the regional class and the written test will become part of the program.
