ATP is the place to be for your pilot training needs...I wish I had my promotional package from them - they explain everything in detail. They also compare their program to the other academy programs out there to show you how good you have it at ATP...
I suggest you get on-line get their package sent to you and go visit their locations.
Plenty of people at the regionals, majors , fractionals that got their training at ATP.
You get what you pay for at ATP in the time frame they say.

I haven't been posting very long but have been reading most posts for about 6-7 months. And LAFF always seems to come off this way. I don't know what happened to you to make you so bitter towards smaller FBO's, but what are you going to do when ATP makes you this bitter. (don't know if they will but it could happen) I would wait untill you actually start training at ATP before you make such bold statements. I can make alot of things look good on paper, and design a cool website.
And I bet ALOT more people that are flying professionally went to a local FBO then went to a ratings mill. So the small FBO has been a pretty good bet over the last 75 years or so.
