As a corporate charter pilot for 12 years, Ryan Carter thought the transition to regional airlines would be an easy career move. What he didn’t count on was one test with a tiny acronym and a big price tag: the Airline Transport Pilot certification training program (ATP CTP). “Being a corporate pilot doesn’t require an ATP CTP,” said Ryan. “That certification didn’t apply to me, so I didn’t think about it.” That quickly changed when he decided to further his career at a regional airline. Ryan learned he would have to pay $5,000 - $6,000 for the certification that would start him on his new career path. Luckily for him, and all the other aspiring regional pilots, ExpressJet recently got certified to teach the ATP CTP course in-house as part of a pilot’s new-hire training. “When I learned that ExpressJet offered this course for free, it was a big relief. I’m so glad I decided to begin my career here,” Ryan said.

In this context, the first step to ensure the desired technical availability of the aircraft is to set-up an appropriate maintenance activity, which is focused on and supports the airworthiness, technical capability and performance of each aircraft, as demanded by the airline’s operation schedule.
