Airline Transport Professionals (ATP) received a signed airline pilot hiring letter of agreement from Trans States Airlines (TSA) dated December 14, 2006. This letter represents an agreement by TSA to guarantee interviews to pilots who are recommended by ATP. In the letter, TSA reduces its minimum prerequisites for ATP graduates to 500 hours total flight time and 100 hours total multi-engine time, in recognition of the excellent training received at ATP.
