ATP Flight School
 

1) Does someone know who is the chief pilot of ATP?

2) I see they have a new JAA training. Are they looking for any JAA qualified pilots?

Thanks for any inputs.

Do Not Go To Atp
 

Do Not Go To Atp, It Is In Your Best Interest To Go Anywhere Else. They Will Not Treat You Professionally And You Will End Losing Thousands Of Dollars.

This is not true. This guy obviously had a bad experience there. I will say that customer service is NOT a priority for them. They will not "pamper" you or hold your hand but you will get your ratings done if you tow the line and do the program, which btw I found outstanding.

What about Long Beach Flying Club and San Diego Flight Trainging International?

Which ATP location are you inquiring about? It is a very good flight school. It will make you more competitive in the long run. I know this for a fact!

The general industry consensus about ATP is that it is mediocre.

Not a chance. In a roomful of people with military flying experience, you are going to be pretty embarrassed to say "I learned to fly at ATP". In professional aviation circles, ATP is where you go to knock out a quick written or get your ME-Centerline thrust limitation removed in a hurry.

No you don't. Your profile says you are a CFI...

SDFTI has a poor reputation locally. I think it is still run by the same guy (owns some warbirds)...if so I would avoid it.

I would recommend these guys instead:

Scanavia

OUCH! Talk about taking no prisoners. LOL.

I suspect he may have an ulterior business motive for promoting ATP.

None of this is true. ATP is a joke. When I was a full time CFI, the owner of the flight school wouldn't hire guys that did the zero to hero program at ATP. I have heard more than one airline recruiter complain about the quality of training at ATP.
