For getting your ratings and getting out it's not a bad value, just remember that you're going to have that stigma of being from a cookie cutter, zero to hero school. If you want to believe that they're going to offer you a job once you graduate, that's your perogative. You won't get the quality, in-depth training that you'd get in a collegiate program, and your instructors are probably all going to be low hour timebuilders who could care less about your training. Ten years down the road will it matter where you went? No. But when you start looking for that first job after you aren't hired as promised at ATP, is your potential employer going to take you, the 250 hour wonder pilot, or are they going to take somebody with an equal amount of time and four years of aviation study?[/QUOTE]


This is true in some form, yes they have low time guys. But the fact is if they send students that dont pass a check ride over and over they are gone. I have seen some of the best instructors from ATP and also some that ant all that great. But there stans ant know joke so you have to be a pretty good pilot to get through it. And fyi they are looking for all the instructors they can get right now, They call me 2 times a month to try to offer me a job.
