Also you have to go to those select colleges and cannot come in with anything more than a private.... I was at Letourneau University (LETU) and they told me this after doing some training before enrolling at the college. i was in high school and got my instrument. they said i was a lost cause and they could not sign anything with me. so i left the college. no benefit the ATP restriction and the eagle pipeline program that the school promised was later told to the students "you have to get all your ratings, except private with us to be able to do this"

so after spending $6,000 on a tail dragger rating not including the schooling and asked to spend another $20k+ next semester on X/C time builder and schooling..... I left!
