I got all my ratings, all the way up to Multi/Commercial at an FBO in 1 year from 0 to Comm/Multi. Then went to ATP 2 week CFI course also part 61 and got my 3 CFI ratings. Every captain I've flown with say they like flying with people from ATP compared to Embry Riddle. ATP pilots are by far better in every aspect.
It would seem that you forgot the 'h' in school.
Look, it is hard to take you seriously on these boards when your posts convey an elementary school level of intelligence.
Getting all of your ratings in one year is quite a feat. I accumulated mine gradually over the course of 3 years, and I am glad that I did. I believe that going from 'zero to hero' in one year or less may not be the best approach to flight training. Yes, you can fly the airplane, but has enough time gone by and experience gained to soak in the proper knowledge to handle certain emergencies that we don't train for in the 121 world? That is the million dollar question.
Personally, if I had to choose to fly with someone who went to 4 years of Riddle or someone who went through 12 months of ATP; knowing nothing else about that person, I would choose the Riddle grad. First; because they have proven, by completing a college degree that they have the tools and knowledge to successfully navigate a rigorous college curriculum, which directly translates into an increased ability to handle real world issues.
Second; I know that they didn't "rush" through their ratings. Yes, rush is a subjective word, but one year is fast... don't even get me started on their '90 day' ludicrous speed program.
I was going to continue my discussion with topics that involve ethics and integrity, but seeing that you work for GoJet, I don't expect you to know anything about those topics.
