Hey guys and gals, ok I just got off the phone with the people at ATP and I am ****ed big time... they will not take me into their CFI/CFII/MEI course because unfortunantly they will only take you if you are going to work for them out of training... I am a college student finishing my degree and won't be done until May 08... so thats just not going to flippin happen... However I need to get some instructing in this summer and as early as possible. I have about 500 TT and my CSELI and CMELI ratings. I am done with classes here in Murray no later than mid-May and need to get into a CFI/CFII/MEI program that can be accomplished in a couple of three weeks if possible...

Who would you guys reccomend on this? Obviously ATP isn't going to work which is a crying shame since I wanted the training there - but they obviously aren't interested unless you can work for them immediately after graduation from their program - like I say I am a college student and I go to school in the fall, so NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Now I am shopping for a new CFI/CFII/MEI school - I would prefer to do a course and take the rides with a DE if possible instead of a FSDO...

Can you all help me out - I need to start in May so I can instruct this summer. Can you all give me some direction on some other good programs? I intend to take out a loan on this stuff...

Help ASAP would be greatly appreciated!

thanks and cheers,
John

Skycowboy,

I did my Com SE and CFII with American Flyers during a summer college break. I held off on the Multi till later. This happen several years back but a fair experience, and on budget.

I thought the initial had to be done with the FSDO regardless...

That is my understanding unless the school you are attending has examining authority under part 141.

It depends on the FSDO. In Salt Lake they want you to fill out an application to test with a DE and then they will either assign a DE or let you choose your own, based on examiner load.

i prefer DE's - i realize that is lame... they seem more human... oh well
