You may not get your desired location as a CFI. It seems like there is so much negativity towards ATP. However, two experienced airline pilots and my CFI (retired) recommend that I go to ATP to complete my ratings and be a CFI with ATP.
I fall in the career change category. I have a bachelors degree and was in law enforcement for about 15 years. Soon to be 40.
ATP sounds nice but I'm still unsure at this point.
I too have been eyeballing Utah and am considered a career changer only I am 30. I haven't been into deep conversations with them and need to know more in regards to their financing and how it operates so if anyone has more insight as to how its paid for then please fill me in. Thanks
