I'm getting ready to fire off some applications to a couple of the companies that are currently offering the course as I missed the boat last summer with the new requirements for the written. I know, tisk, tisk...everyone knew it was coming and I should have done it last year, however, I had circumstances that did not allow it.

Couple questions for those that have completed the program or are aware of how it works:

How did the company incorporate the training in regards to the rest of the training timeline?

Where did you complete the training and were you paid and/or holding a sen number?

How would you describe the course in general? Did you feel it was stressful combining it with your new hire training? Was it well presented and professionally ran?

How prepared were you already to pass the written? (meaning, did you go in having pre studied the question bank)

Thanks in advance to all the helpful folks here!



























































































































































































































When did you receive you sen number?

 

Thank you for hitting the return button 389 times before typing your last question.

 

Bahahahahahaha. I needed that

 

Coming from the dood who responds in red text. Y'all cut from da same cloth.

 

Coming from the "Head Troll"

 

Bro. Stop chasing me around. It's starting to get a little scary with your multiple backup screen names and all.

I own u.

 

Let's be honest FB, the only thing you own here is a horrible reputation and the title of "Chief Executive Troll," which you successfully lowered yourself to over in the main Mesa thread. Now run along and go play with your Skybesties...

To the OP, I'm not aware of that many regionals with a CTP program in place (XJT?). I do know of a few flight schools that are selling the program (Aerosim, ERAU, ATP) to the newest batch of the young, naive SJS crowd. I am not that familiar with the CTP program and what it entails, but I would bet my left nut that as long as airline pilot hopefuls are paying for the course out of their own pockets then the regionals will have no desire or need to develop their own respective programs. The way I see it, this is no different than the old PFT schemes of the past.

Please don't shell out the coin for one of these programs. Let a future employer bear the cost of training their employees to the standard required for the job.

 

A) The Mesa thread is a burning dumpster fire that reeks of DUI's and check ride failures without my input whatsoever. If anything I classed up the joint.

B) I hold the deed to do many of you guys I'm going to need a file cabinet.

Carry on.

 

Sorry for the mishap on the format. I didn't realize what happened until it was too late.

Currently, TSA, XJT, and SKYW are all offering courses for free. I've been in contact with a few others that are very close. Soon, I'm guessing they all will. (regionals, that is)

And yes, I agree, no pilot should pay one cent for this. This is why I am limited to the companies listed above for now.

 

Word. Best of luck man!
