"First of all, it isn't like you are paying off the DPEs to pass you"

From the ATP website:

"ATP-Approved Examiners

We work with the same Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) day in and day out....This relationship ensures a low-stress checkride, for which you will be extremely well prepared."

So....you only take checkrides with DPE's "approved" by ATP so you can have a "low stress checkride". Yeah, right....

"Why is a 757/767 pilot for UPS hanging out in the flight training forum anyway"

Cause I'm a mod here and at JC, cause I'm a CFI, cause I own and fly a Luscombe, a 152, and an Apache. And the number one reason why I hang out at the APC flight training forum...cause I'd hate for anyone to buy off on the big academy Koolaid without hearing the other side of the story. Why are YOU hangin' out here?

"I personally see nothing wrong with a 90 day course"

Thanks for your opinion, I already expressed mine.

"look at the guys who come from Mesa's program and go into the right seat at 300 hours"

Yes, I agree with you that this is a bad thing (I think that was your point).
