Why in God's name would you want to blow a lot of money on an ATR rating and in addition work for DAT??? Take a B737 rating and get a nice job somewhere else instead...
Well,...to start with; An ATR-rating will give you a job (..even if it may be with DAT, which I wouldn't mind flying for actually).
A 737 dito does not. Period.
I have a hunch MAX Cruise is a low-timer and looking for a way in. In that case an ATR-rating probably would do the job.
As a B737-low-timer with no time on type, but just the bare rating, you're scr*w*d!!

What about Ryanair? Think you can get in touch with them, get a 737 with an approved (RYR approved) TRTO and "off you go"! 737 typerating + job and a better looking future then on the ATR with DAT me thinks....
Good luck!

Try AerArann - they do their own type rating, and are head & shoulders above DAT when it comes to employment conditions, routes, financial stability and aircraft.
And you get to live in the sunny RoI (or Brittany, take your pick)! :E
