The cross-countries and crew procedures are what set ATP apart,” Thompson says. “It builds your confidence—definitely.”
ATP’s Airline Career Pilot Program offers several options, and all include nationwide cross-country pilot in command flying, explains Dave Tatone, chief pilot at ATP’s Phoenix location.
Building Quality Flight Time
When preparing for an airline career, “You should acquire flight time that can do you the most good rather than just filling spaces in your logbook. For example, a pilot with 11,000 hours total time certainly had the quantity required, but unfortunately... the quality was somewhat lacking—only 50 of those hours were in multiengine (ME) airplanes. The regional airline he hoped to work for noted both his lack of total twin time as well as twin currency and suggested he reapply when he could show recent experience in line with their stated minimum of 300 hours ME time.”
Press on Hiring Trends
