All he said on the podcast about the number was that it had changed three times in the week that they recorded the episode, and it was only Thursday that they recorded, so it’s probably changed again by now. Sounds like it’s a moving target, but 200 this year sounds pretty good to me! Especially combined with the fact that they have started recalls. They mentioned that some were concerned about LIFT contractually getting some training slots, but said there were fewer than 10 candidates coming out of LIFT, so it shouldn’t have much of an effect

With talks of the company planning to hire back up, would it be wise for someone with a CJO and previously scheduled class date to get the ATP CTP done on their own with hopes of getting priority on class dates when they begin?

I spoke to my recruiter and she said that the company will pay for CTP. I am a cadet though so idk if that makes a difference or not.

Pay for the CTP- and then 1099 Misc. it on your taxes. Plan accordingly.

Your accountant must have a field day with you.

I've heard that Republic definitely sends out a 1099 if they pay for your ATP CTP

We do atp ctp in house. The instructors are gearing up for new guys on property in May. Just hold tight and save your money. If you do anything, buy Shepard air and prep for the written while you have time.

So essentially it becomes imputed income like using flight benefits - so then you pay the applicable income tax rate on it at the end of the year? Am I understanding that correctly?
