I graduated a few months ago from the Airline Career Pilot Program. There are several things ATP has changed that aren't advertised.
1. They now have an ACPP SE track that is about 60% less of the multi engine track. If ( a big if) you get hired by them to instruct after a 1,000 hours ATP will fork out the money for the MEI and ME license.
2. Also there is a lot of things ATP doesn't advertise or even tell you. First your entire training is geared towards one thing. Making the examiner happy. They don't care if you actually know how to fly guess what buddy you get 4 I SAT AGAIN 4 flights for your ME PPL. If your not ready guess what you take your check ride any ways. If you are a slow learner they don't care. They will be sure to let you buy more time at an extremely over priced rate.
Is ATP good at doing what they advertise? Yes, I got exactly what I paid for but would never work there even if it was the only job left on the planet. They treat all the instructors like crap, they will make you work like a slave for little or no money and expect you to do some things for free. Dont expect a lick of ground instruction. Not saying that the instructors are bad but most of them have so many flights a day that ground is usually on the back burner. My instructor didn't let me get a gouge until 2 days before my check ride but trust me there were plenty of guys who only knew the knowledge on the gouge. I can't tell you how many times the examiner was kicking and screaming because only one guy had a scheduled check ride for week. Here's how *******ty of a business they run. I went under flight time on my CSEL by almost 10 hours. You think ATP did what any good business does and refunded me that money? You guessed it H*LL NO! They said that since I graduated the program and was in CFI school I was no longer entitled to that flight time even though I opted out of CFI in the end. SOCAL take it from someone who has been down the road. Go get your tickets at an FBO for half the cost and work a real job. I was fortunate to land a really good paying job outside of aviation and still using my certs on the side for fun.
