Military takes young kids out of college and trains them to be the best pilots in the world and all done in about two years. It's not about how long it takes its about the quality of trainging. I'm a Riddle guy, funny I am now flying with guys who went to ATP and doing the same job it took me four years to learn vs someone that did it in six. NOT saying one better than the other. I am just saying two different paths same outcome

I don't hate ATP. I just find it hard to believe that their approach/timeline nurtures a quality instructive environment.
