Next question-- can ATP trained grads get jobs at regional airlines other than Air Wisconsin, Express Jet, PSA... it seems like the options for regional placement and the "agreements" that ATP has with airlines are kind of narrow, or is that just me?
As always, thanks everyone.
A,
You can get a job at any regional in the US. You only need to meet their hiring mins. Concentrate for now on getting your ratings and hours in the most efficient manner.
Their relationship with the regionals is business. Don't read too much into it. Going to ATP will not limit you in any way.
