Thanks for all the replies. I have already scheduled the ATP CTP course for December, I guess I should just go ahead and get my full ATP. I didn’t know that about Delta - I’ve had a few friends in the military apply and they got the cold shoulder. It might be lack of recent turbine time, I don’t know. My turbine time is all over ten years old. The military moved a lot of us over to drones.

Only one regional out five cared that i had ZERO time in last 5 years when i applied. Within one hour of submitting my apps (was waiting to upload my medical) i had a call. Within 24 hours 3 interviews scheduled. I no kidding have a friend who last month had a CJO from envoy within one day of submitting without an interview or talking to anyone.

If you mean fly charter then fly regional then fly major, no. Any fresh turbine time should get interest from the majors. Make sure you don’t get anything with onerous training contracts

IMO A great call. I'd much rather be at a place like flex jet or net jets when the music stops vs at a regional. Plus at least flex Jet's organic or confirmed ticket commuting could prevent another move to a hub.

But this was in 2018 when you applied to the regionals?

The main reason I don’t want to go to a regional, and prefer fractional or 135, is because I’m not within commuting distance and the reserve time would suck. Plus I’m close to a city that is a domicile for both Flex Jet and Net Jet. So that schedule works way better for me.
I did apply with Frontier but they said to get my ATP and then they’ll take another look.

Word on the street is that UA is still hiring at ATP Mins? I have 1527 hours, mostly military turbine. I have been reluctant to go pay 10K to get my ATP but also don't want to go to the regionals. If I feel confident I could get hired at UA, American or another legacy, I'd spring for it.
