In this episode of Runway Life, Craig sits down with Alyshia of the AeroStar Training Services team to break down what pilots really need to know about ATP CTP courses, type ratings, and the current airline hiring environment.
We discuss:
- What ATP CTP is and who actually needs it
- The ATP CTP courses AeroStar offers and how they differ
- Aircraft type ratings available through AeroStar
- Why some pilots are choosing to complete ATP CTP or a type rating before an airline interview
- How today’s pilot hiring market is influencing training decisions
- Common misconceptions about getting typed early
- What recruiters are actually looking for right now
Whether you’re a commercial pilot building time, preparing for your ATP, or deciding if additional training makes sense before an interview, this episode gives you real-world insight straight from a training provider working directly with today’s airline pipeline.
