Living expenses at ATP
How much money did you ATPers set aside to live on while you were in the three month program? Did any of you have a budget that was pretty realistic for that particular situation? I realize they take care of housing but when you went how much cash/money in checking did you have?

Do your own research...You'll get what you pay for at ATP. Its expensive and there are alternatives.
Good luck...

I need something much more structured and the two local FBO's (within 45 min of where I live) are horrible as far as options and don't have a good selection of planes. They are either down for maintenance or you can't get them. It would honestly take me 3+ years to finish up all of that at the rate I got my private.

Where do you live? I can totally understand if you are in the sticks. I may not be speaking fairly because I live in Dallas and there are numerous options (including 2 ATP locations). I guess the FBO's your close to charge outrageous prices as well. Good luck with your goals.

Hey Murl,
Which location are you planning on going to? I was wondering the same about living cost, I think I can do it on $400 or less month. I start in PHX on April 2nd.
By the way folks, long time reader-first time poster. I've learned a lot from everyone.
Thanks

www.prairieairservice.com, much cheaper with great instruction...hell, I've almost got LAFF converted!
Can you imagine what ATP will charge once the D-Jets are on-line?
ATP does have a crash course for CFI ratings. I'll have to go there for those but the ground school can be done at a FBO or PAS.
I already asked Herb about CFI / MEI/CFII gound schools.
Research , research, and more research...Flight training is expensive...No need to carry debt that can't be managed...
