Time is of the essence, any advice would be helpful in terms of getting currency, being competitive in the hiring process, and who is the best airlines are that would hire me. I am on the verge of committing to ATP to go through a 3 days of sims for $2500 in DFW. Is this a good idea? (Class 1 successful). Thanks
