You should already determined that by my posts, and how ATP functions. Look at their website, it shows how many ATP instructors have been hired by the airlines. And as for "immature" instructors, you will find immature people at every job, place, and different age level no matter where you work, there will always be one. When I was in ATL as a student, there was only one guy younger than me, and I was 26 at the time, and he was my instructor. He was far from mature, and was a very good pilot. He was 23. As for me, I am 27 and a naval officer. A good number of ATP's instructors are people who are changing their career, 95% of the instructors that I have worked with were over 21 and had a college degree. Some over 40 years old. But just b/c we are here to build time, doesn't mean that you aren't going to get good instruction. It is our responcibility as pilots and instructors to do so.
