I have found that typically a different type of personality goes to ATP then other schools. The "Get it all as fast as physically possible and who cares what they charge me for it"

In some people that tends to be an issue with me but in others it does not. I work as a CFI with an ATP grad and he is a great guy and an even better pilot. We have had a few other ATP guys apply and not get hired due to their lack of knowledge. That may or may not reflect the teachings of ATP.
