Oh, and AATPs told me I'd be doing steam when I scheduled, and when I got there, BAM. All G500s.

I recommend ALLATP in Denver. They have the PA44-180s with G500. The G500 is easy to learn and ALLATP have good instructors that teach everything you need to know for your checkride. The checkride is very fair, no suprises.

I took my written through Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst at their education center. I only have to pay for the Shepperd Air prep. I have been talking to Carl at Accessible Aviation in Mississippi that is primarily devoted to military. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. You may find it difficult to get ahold of him since he is probably swamped with business.

On a side note...I'll ask the question again...anyone know of a VA approved ATP flight checker in SOCAL?? I finally found one (SDFTI) but they only have one aircraft (which they rent) and it is in some type of FAA hold now....and are basically giving me the run around...and ALLATP doesn't have a ATP checker...(ironic right?!?!)

Lake, et al....
First, my opinion is barely worth $.02, so take it for what it's worth.
In an earlier post, I mentioned Downtown Aviation in Memphis, TN - which is who I went thru. In and out the door in 24 hrs and $1433 (including examiner fee). Go back a few posts to read more info.
** There are a ton of military folks I know who are VERY, VERY satisfied with the program.
In the end, the golden ticket (ATP) should be done that fits your timeframe, budget, and learning desires.
I've heard good things about Sanders Aviation in Jasper as well.....

For anyone in the Boston area...go to Joint Base Cape Cod and take the ATP written for free at the Coast Guard Air Station education center. PM me for details. For the practical, try East Coast Aero Club. They fly a Seminole with traditional gauges and a 430W (very easy plane to fly) and they have a DPE on their staff. DPE is ex-USAF and very fair.
