@669605... From what I understand ATP actually moves aircraft around to cater to student work load. If you decide to go to Chicago don't expect 50 aircraft waiting on the flight line. I know Pheonix has the most sims and I think the most aircraft in the system. I know at KCRG (Jacksonville) they never have a shortage of aircraft although it isn't the nicest of locations. You get what you pay for and I was SKEPTICAL of ATP and I've been talking to them for several months and haven't heard one horror story. I talked to the students, CFI's, and people who are much higher and they love everything about it. I know the Instructor's aren't flying as much as they use to and now they Instructor's who have been there several years which has improved the quality of instruction. @Chris are you the guy at Sterling currently doing the ATS program? I thought about Sterling but they are almost $10K more than ATP and will take a lot longer but Sterling flight is certainly a good outfit.
