Thanks for all the replies! For what it’s worth, I don’t really need the 320 type rating added to my licence, as I assume should I get into one of the big boys they’d type me anyway. Happy to be corrected on that though!

Unfortunately not, too big a slap in the face for us with current commitments which is a shame.. had it been 5 odd years ago or so it would have worked perfectly!
Care to elaborate on the Delta KATL ATP CTP course theory you have??

You don’t happen to know if Canada has an easier ATPL transfer process from Australia do you? Theoretically could transfer my ATPL to Canada, do the CTP and 60 question test and get an FAA one.. bit sneaky.
Referring to the “ground and flight training before the check ride” for non Canadian licence holders i.e. me.. are you referring to doing a type rating or is this a separate course required before doing an ATP check ride?

Which United facility was this if you don’t mind saying? Might get in contact. Just seems insane to do a full type rating of a plane I’ve been on 5+ years.. might be easy though at least hah.
Thanks again!
