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!

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!

[@burnabyemergencyphotograph8683]

Swayne Martin keep doing what your doing my friend, love it.

[@burnabyemergencyphotograph8683]

Gemmy H oh lol okay

[@shaunsart1823]

Swayne Martin I know you can do it

[@manuelight]

Swayne Martin great video as always!!

[@kakandaville]

Sup Martin, i didnt catch, what ac are you going to fly? 145 or 175?

[@jamtrack7867]

Loved this, even if it’s 2 years old. A Only thing is now I am getting ATP adds non stop.

[@catdaddy57]

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 -

[@brendondesbarres1023]

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!!

[@FlightSimulatorXATC]

You can still fly for the civilian side! I have vision issues as well. Military is unfortunately the “free99” route, though.

[@fulano86]

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!

Congrats Swayne. Enjoy the course.

[@SwayneMartinPilot]

Thank you!

[@speedbrake1469]

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!

You know what sucks? I flew for legacy American Eagle on the ERJ before this started and left to be a controller. I plan to go back to the airlines and will have to take the program even though I have over 1000 hours at a part 121 carrier.

[@sammulder9429]

I was just wondering if you could make a new vid over a big outline of what you have done throughout all your years to become a pilot and go over all the training and schooling and maybe even an estimate of how much all the classes and the training cost

[@SkyHighGuys]

Nice man!

[@SwayneMartinPilot]

Thanks!

I’m terrified of flying but I’m obsessed with aviation and I’m even a remote pilot. I love your stuff so I can live vicariously but someday I want to learn to fly. My dream is to be a commercial pilot.

[@aidan5577]

Hey swayne, I was just wondering , but does the things you learn at school have any impact on your “pilot life.” If so, then how ?
