I think you mean Shepherd Air and no the company does not pay for that study guide - I would be surprised if any airline would pay for Shepherd Air. Everyone uses it though. You can't take the written till you are done with the CTP course which SkyWest does pay for and costs a lot more than the Shepherd Air prep course. You can definitely study that anytime but you don't want to peak too early since the written is after the CTP Sim portion.

Pay During Training
Hi! I have a question regarding the training pay for budgeting purposes. I know that you get paid 65 hours/month during training. Will you get paid for 65 hours after completing the training or still get paid on pay day? Let’s say your class date starts on 1st of the month, will you get paid for 65 hours on 25th?

Everyone uses Shepard air on there own dime, Most people start studying 1 to 2 weeks before CTP/ATP that way they have seen all the questions and only need to do the final review for there written. ATP/CTP is a big time and brain suck if you’re not used to the 121 environment and jets. You have to manage your energy, the people I went to CTP with spent 1 or 2 hours a night studying. We all received mid to high 90’s on the written. We only had one day off to get our written done. Then onto the sim for the ATP certification (This was not with SkyWest).

Your pay periods are the 1st through the 15th that pay on the 22nd, and the 16th through the last day of the month that then get paid on the 7th.
If the payable date is a weekend or holiday the actual paycheck deposit day is different.

I am finishing my ATP CTP with skywest right now, in house. But we are the LAST class to do that in house. Expect to be send to a partner, maybe L3 in Texas.

That’s helpful. Thank you. Do you have a screenshot or anything showing the rest of the training layout?

I was told by ATP Jets that my class date at the end of August (starts on the 23rd) has been switched to all in-person training. I think they were starting the change over with the last classes in July, but not 100% sure on the change-over date. My guess is it'll be a class by class notification.
