I started systems a few weeks ago and was told they are still taking applicants without the written. My assumption is that they will provide the CTP and then have the pilot start indoc after, that's just my opinion.

I don't they, or any regional, will have a choice if they want butts in the classroom.

I've been out for several years in a non-flying job (looking at getting back in). Can someone clarify with the new rule, is the CTP required before you can take the ATP written, or can you still take the written after a quick test prep like Sheppard Air?

Need to do an ATP CTP course to take the written as of August 2014.

In the aerosim course did they actually prep you for the written, or was it strictly by the curriculum they have to follow from the FAA?

Im just wondering, if you take Aerosim's course, is it still prudent to get some other test prep going, like Shepperd to Gliem etc?

I did the Shepperd ATP course a few years ago and recommend it. I think they have a money back guarantee if you score less than 90%; so either way it's a good deal.

Oh yea, I swear by Shep.. I did my Instrument through them.

I was just curious if the CTP was set up as a written prep or just the basics needed to satisfy the FAA.

Not in the slightest bit. All FAA slides and correctable quizzes. We all crammed using Sheppard Air; that's the only way to do it, IMHO.

Yea, your right. I got a couple messages from folks about test prep.

On the other hand, does anyone here have any inside information about upcoming regionals that will offer it as part of the initial training? I know AWAC was just approved, but I was curious about any scuttlebutt out there about whos next.
