An F/A-18 buddy has had his app in for a while, only to see (arguably) “lesser qualified” mil candidates receive interviews. Those candidates completed DAL’s ATP-CTP whereas he received his ATP through a local FBO. Would be a shame to see a “pay to play” scheme emerging, but admittedly I’m not familiar with the details of the program.
