Pre-covid, any 61 or 141 school was a good way to a regional. Even today there are arguably many other places better than ATP flight school. ATP has hiring partnerships with tuition reimbursement but many would still stay the high cost is still not an acceptable trade off. I would avoid high interest loans as much as possible. If you have your heart set on ATP and you can cover some out of pocket, I would suggest pay as you go for PPL at another school, then finish the rest at an ATP for cheaper.

If you have the ASAP mindset, there are some decent immersion training locations scattered around the US, some run by former DPE's or former military pilots. They are somewhere in the $55k range. Way better than a pilot mill that rushes you to checkride like ATP in my opinion.

I’d say ATP would be awesome if your parents had lots of money or you can get the loan since the government is going to forgive them in a few years anyway!

He really turned his life around.

But you can't buy seniority at an airline so the next best thing is getting ratings quick and moving on quick I suppose...
