Hard to find a place that pays half of what ATP does. Their CFIs make roughly $6/hr (expected to be at the airport pretty much all the time, with or without students. Divide $1200/mo over a 50 hour workweek and its not so attractive). But we've been down this road before and I don't want to **** off any ATP lovers out there...
