I would get the CTP course and written done. It’ll make you competitive for the ULCCs and if you do go to a regional, you’re not on the hook for that either.

Yep, regionals, as a whole, are throwing in some form of responsibility to the new-hire for the cost of the CTP course. I don't know how long RPA has been doing it, but they will send you a 1099 for $4,500 of "imputed income" for the cost of the CTP course.

Yep, got hit with a ~$1200 tax bill on it. And if your tax guy tells you that it is non-taxable because of some training tax clause (which some people did), this does not apply so you better hope you don't get audited in the next few years.

Yep, I remember getting my class date postponed right after my CTP course and then canceled the day before Christmas Eve. 2 weeks later, the 1099 showed up.
