Don't believe them. Mesaba's failure rate is more like 2.5%. BTW, I attended the ATP course, passed the sim ride, and was not called by any of the companies with which ATP says they have a "guaranteed" interview letter of agreement. BUYER BEWARE. Ref Mesaba, if you pay attention in class and put in 3 to 5 hours of studying each night you will have no trouble.
