Default Cautionary tale from ATP land....

All ATP's in Dallas is fine. The written is just as everyone has said. Go to Arlington not Addison. The examiner in Addison (at least the one there 2 years ago named Norm) was kind of a tool and seemed to have a problem with military pilots. He hosed me on my checkride during the oral portion (didn't even get to fly) and told me that "You need more reciprocationg engine time." At the time I had 2500 hrs of multi-engine turbine time, all PIC and 1300 of if IP. I have never heard of another story like this so it was probably me stepping on my crank with golf shoes (the old kind) but at least one cautionary tale should find it's way into the mix here. The good news is in the long run if didn't hurt me. I'm now in IOE with a certain fractional ownership company and all it took was a 10 second explanation during my interview that I messed up and moved on. Good luck and take the FE the same time you take your ATP.
