and when i did my written prep, i read the book in cruise for a four day, had it done in 3 days, reviewed again on the 4th....took the test, omitted the performance, and was rewarded with a piece of paper saying i barely passed....but barely is passing enough.

Any failure and the Senior first went to the check airman to find out 1) why the airman failed 2) if there were any difficulties and if so why the airman was put up for the ride. The first one to dance was not the airman but the check airman.
Yes, the expect the applicant to do the work but to say they expect you to find the resources is a sign there is something amiss with the company culture. And considering all the resources that have been expended to get someone to an oral or a sim check, it sounds like p*ss poor management and a huge waste of time, money and resources.

For full disclosure. I am an ALLATP pilot. A former instructor with 560/440 when I applied to Eagle. I enjoyed my time at ATP and actually took a paycut to come to Eagle. Although every plane at eagle has an air conditioner which helps even out the lower pay versus sweating my rear off in a Seminole.

agreed
I have spilled my share of sweat in the archers and Seminoles here in AZ for a year now. 1100/300 multi. still on the low side of hours but I cant put a value on the experience I have gained while "sweating my rear off".

What is so special about the program at ATP anyways, regarding the ATP written? What methods are they using to get you ready to pass the test so quickly?

Instead of having a 1000 question bank, through their program they've reduced it to 300 or so. You spend the whole day "studying" them and take it when you're ready. Really good pass rate.
