ATP/CTP, training expectations
Hello all,
Finally got a class date...second one on rehire. I've heard from a few buddies at SkyWest that there have been changes in training in last few years. I'm slated for late August and going to ER175's. Trying to get ahead of the game on study so wondering what the training flow looks like. I'll get Sheppard air about a month out but besides prepping for the ATP exam, what else should one prepare for? Thanks!

Everything is provided by SkyWest and you just have to trust the process. You could potentially buy the Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual and/or Everything Explained for the professional pilot. Other than that... nothing.
