Exclamation ATP is good for pilots ok with being ok

I went to ATP in Concord, NC for two months. It was very expensive and there was almost no education gained. My instructor honestly told me, “I shouldn’t have to teach you this stuff. Are you reading your book and finding YouTube videos?” When I said, Yes but I need the gaps filled in, he advised me to read more. I asked for a new instructor and I was told I wasn’t allowed to choose to change my instructor, so I spent $12,600 in two months and I wasn’t allowed to switch to an instructor who was able to instruct! Then when I found a massively better flight school and told ATP I was withdrawing, then they asked what they could do to keep me as a student. Make no mistake, they just want your money! They have no concern about you as a professional pilot.

My advice, spend less, find a better flight school, take a little longer to get to CFI (a little longer being about 2 months), and you’ll be much happier and a much better pilot.
