The only pilot that I ever had to deny an airplane rental checkout to was a fresh CFI that had completed all his training through ATP....
I've worked with a few other instructors that had been through ATP's fast track CFI program and was astounded by the amount of knowledge they lacked, they even had the students correcting them!
A private pilot student of mine ended up doing his Instrument and Commercial through ATP. The chief flight instructor quizzed him during an instrument stage check and was very impressed by his knowledge. My former student wasn't shy about letting him know that these were the basic things he had been taught by me for the private pilot certificate.
Now all these could be isolated incidents, or perhaps not.
Just some food for thought.
