Hello again and welcome to Aviation News Talk where we talk General Aviation with relevant news

and flying tips for pilots and student pilots to help keep you safe. I'm Max Ruscott. Today we'll be talking

with Jason Blair about the ATP CTP, which includes six hours of training in a high-end full-motion

simulator, and you have to do that before you take the

ATP written exam. We'll also be talking about how the major airlines are gearing up to hire

new pilots this year. Last week in episode 180, we talked with Catherine Kavignaro about
