ATP-CTP and ATP Practical

All the threads on this topic seem outdated.

What's the cheapest route--other than going to the regional airlines--for someone to get their ATP-CTP course and ATP Practical completed?

There isn't one.

work part time at a simulator facility? ATP-CTP course can be provided as a perk.

Go to a commitment-free regional?

Are you a Ranger? Got plenty of TPIC? Go to Delta for CTP. It hits all the wickets without a whole bunch of fuss, and it’s a pretty fun few days. Use GI Bill if you have it available. Then apply to Delta and get hired without the practical complete. Also, you have PA-44 time. Find a Seminole and fly in it for 3 hours under the hood then take your practical. Couple thousand bucks and you didn’t go to a regional. Going to a major will net you out way ahead of the coin you’d save on getting your CTP and ATP at a regional even if it’s for a couple months.

Can also use GI Bill to pay (partially) for said things. That's what I did/am doing, as I'm not intending to go to the regionals. As was already mentioned, if DAL is your flavor, they only technically require ATP written to be complete (and obviously CTP as it is a prereq for written now).

This notwithstanding, airline pilots like hiring airline pilots, and if you want to be an airline pilot, now is a good time to go be a regional jet driver.
