My son recently finished ATP school, thank God. That was the most harrowing experience he has ever experienced. The people who run the school do not give a diddly squat about their students. The students are just numbers. They will kick you out at the drop of a hat. My son was super lucky to have been able to finish. HOWEVER . . . their false advertising about being an instructor after finishing the school is super MISLEADING. It's not like part of the program . . . they have to have job openings and since there are hundreds upon hundreds of students, there aren't instructor job openings very often! So my son is stuck, and so are a whole bunch of other students he met in the school. They can't find instructor jobs that they need in order to gain the flight hours required for a commercial position. They advertise that you can finish the school in about 9 months or less. BS!!! It took my son 1.5 years to finish because of constant delays with weather AND planes needing maintenance/repairs. PLUS, the airline programs ATP promises you'll be able to enroll in is a damn joke. My son as well as many other students were not able to join an airline's program because they're not hiring anymore! This school is freaking expensive as hell and ATP doesn't give a crap if you aren't able to join an airline program or even get an instructor job like they advertise. I wish to God he would have gone to a different flight school. I gotta pray hard for him every day for a door to open for him just to get his required hours. Many of the other flight schools won't even hire you as an instructor if you went to ATP! What a big mistake we made in choosing this school, and now we're $140,000 in debt!!! Don't do it! Go elsewhere because your life depends on it! There are many lawsuits against this company because of their false advertising and other dishonest practices.
