Before August 1, 2014, you need to be 21 to take the test. You then have 24 calendar months to take your ATP check ride. Thus, if you are 21, you will be 23 to be eligible for the ATP certificate. Sucks for the folks that turns 21 on July 31, as they will have exactly 1 day to pass that check ride.
After August 1, 2014, you fall under the new rules which permits a R-ATP (restricted ATP). This will allow you to be hired by an airline but you have to meet a laundry list of requirements to be able to obtain a R-ATP.
Long story short, take your ATP before August 1, 2014 if you can. If you can't, enjoy the added expense (up to $15,000) and have fun.

You don't need to be 21. It would just make it pointless to take the test.

They will have 2 years to prepare for the checkride.

The airlines are going to provide the course and if you dont have a choice anyway it is what it is.

You cant afford the added expense and if you can its not worth it. The only way to realistically get your atp will be going to the airlines.

hello all
anyone have any info on canadian atp holders who wishes to convert to an faa atp after aug 1st 2014 whether they have to do the CPT course ? if not, that would be a great loop hole. convert your faa commercial/ifr to canada commercial/ifr and then take the samra and saron written and then the practical test and get an atp in canada and
then take the faa conversion written test and you will get 2 atp for the price of one and save 10 to 15k by not having to take the CPT course
