For those who get hired and need the CTP, how often/quick can they get you started with that? Will that cause a significant delay in my class start date by having to wait a while to get into one of those courses?

If those don't work, you can always call in EMER and just say you're not flying it. Crew Support does not need to know WHY you're calling in EMER. You could be sick, or you have something better going on, and you could not DROP or POST it successfully.
It's best to call in EMER before two hours to report time, so they can assign a reserve to it with a a two-hour callout.

The earlier the better. Just get that awful written out of the way and enjoy your freedom before ground school.
