ATP written w/ regional

[ceo_of_the_sofa]

I took my ATP written late last year and start training at a regional next week. How can I make sure my ATP test date gets locked in 'till I take the ride?

Thanks,
ceo.

Don't worry about it. As long as you take your ATP checkride at at that company it wil never expire. Even if you don't upgrade till 5 years from now. As long as you were continously employed by that SAME company.

If you quit/get furlughed/fired and start somwhere else more than 2 years after you took the test, you will have to re take it.

Found it, two years from test 'till hire. Indefinite, with proof.

In case someone wants to look at the actual explanation, see the link.

Don't forget everything needed for a 6/6/6 rvr takeoff vs. a 1000/1000 rvr takeoff. Make sure you know op spec c55. You know, the one about how to derive alternate minimums, 400/1 or 200/ 1/2. Make sure you know this cold on day 1 and everything else will be gravy.
