One the other side of it, I went to All ATP in Jacksonville, FL. Absolute terrible experience with the DE they use. Complete ball buster. I really think he wanted to fail me. He continued to mess with me while flying trying to get me off altitude and distract me from flying. I don't know if he would have failed me but it sure seemed like it. I did the 2 day program but I had a couple hundred of hours as a MEI in the seminole prior to the military so I think that may have helped.
BL: don't go to all ATP in Jacksonville. The DE's last name is Strange (go figure). I'd stay away from him at all cost. Good luck.
I have heard awful things about that guy. Don't use ATP at LZU in ATL either. The DPE is a huge *********. I would not wish that two hour checkride on my worst enemy. He started the oral with "you are one of those military guys who is just going to waltz into an airline job". Yeah, that was awesome...
