Sorry ZFT = zero flight time. It is any class C [or maybe D] Simulator. It doesn't have to be a boeing sim, it clould be a lear or Global sim etc.

The ATP Test is EXACTLY the same as the type ride except for the oral exam. But like I said it depends on who you get on the day. I got a US ATP without actually flying in US airspace. Made for some inbteresting times when I actually did... But that's another story.

The only difference is that you also do the ATP exam - I know a few guys who have also done this route and seriously it isn't that difficult.
