Why Do You Take ATP-CTP Before Becoming An Airline Pilot?

  • Filmed with approval in partnership with ATP Jets and Envoy Air... Contrary to what you might think, your ATP-CTP Course won't help you pass your FAA Written Exam. Regardless of which airline you'll fly for one day, this course is a requirement for all of us. Here's what you need to know before you get started!
    If you've ever wondered how you can become an airline pilot, shoot me an email through the contact tab on my website!

    Thanks for watching guys! I had no idea what to expect from this training course, so I hope this video helps you out. If you want to fly for an airline one day, you'll be doing this soon!

    Your parents must be very proud of you. For such a young man you display a great deal of maturity, fantastic work ethic and an awesome attitude. I have always wanted to fly but minor eyesight issues prevented me during a stint in the Navy, so I am limited to X-plane and FSX..... Lol... Keep up the good work and best wishes to you on advancing your career in aviation. I see you becoming a captain of a large commercial jet soon. I would feel very comfortable with you a the controls..... best of luck....... Mike

      catdaddy57 Wow!! what absolutely wonderful words of sheer encouragement let alone expressions of pure delight for this young man that you are talking about!! Despite your own unfortunate medical status you have not gone sour yourself but are indeed
      excited for another human being!! So what planet did you come from??? whereby qualities & attributes of this magnitude have been instilled in you by caring parents!! it's a real shame that you did not get to achieve your personal ambitions because I reckon you like Swayne would so obviously have had all the necessary requirements to push those thrust levers forward & head for the wide blue yonder!! Reading between the lines you just gotta be a nice guy otherwise you would not have been able to say these things!!
      You opened your mouth & nothing but positive statements came forth!! Wow & again you blow me away!!
      Yeah you too would have looked "kool as a cucumber" one day sitting in that left hand seat wearing a white shirt with 4 gold bars on each shoulder!!
      Remember not all is lost for you yet as you have no idea what is waiting around the corner for you!! May "GOD'S blessings be upon you as you go forth!!

    Congrats! I was at Eagle for 4 years, back when they were still American Eagle. I started my flight training at ATP as well, but after being stuck at the bottom of the seniority list for 4 years straight, I managed to switch careers to ATC. This video does bring back memories though from when I first started at the airlines. Good luck and have fun flying the jet!

      Swayne Martin
      Learn to embrace and enjoy the sim. It’s something one has to do twice a year. In my early career it was a checking and failing exercise! Thankfully those days are long gone and it’s now all about training and learning. If you retire at 65 and fly for an airline you have around 176 sim sessions to go totaling 704 hrs!

    Hey Swayne, just wanted to say that I love your videos, to be honest, I've always wanted to become a pilot, but it was only this year that I decided that that was for sure what I wanted to do, and then I discovered you, I did my research, and applied to UND, two days ago, I got an email from them saying I got accepted, so I'll be up in the air soon, and I just wanted to say thanks!

      Charlie Sussman Hey Charlie! As long as your vision is correctable to 20/20 with glasses, you can get an FAA medical for flying I believe. Contact a local aviation medical examiner (AME) to find out more. Good luck! Let me know know it goes.
