Is atp a pretty good school? And does anybody know if you have to have a college degree to get in? Thanks

I belive that ATP is not too bad of a place (which is saying a lot in the flight training scam, I mean industry).

But you need to make sure you understand EXACTLY what you want and need for your training and career progression before you talk to them. Otherwise they will try to sell you a bunch of extra crap that you don't need $$$$.

Getting an RJ type rating would be good too. It would show prospective regionals that you can make it through their training. Money well spent.

no, you don't need a college degree. That is the whole point of going there, to bypass a 4 year school. But it is a good school; my wife went there. you get $hit done and quick. best economic value. I suggest it above the others!

WRONG! Don't waste your money on a RJ type. Anyone can fly one; as long as your resume is good and you have a good attitude, you'll get the job. You must have been born with a silver spoon in your mouth to go and get one for no apparent reason. hogwash!

Let's say that you where. What's wrong with getting one?

I have heard the RJ type training is exactly what you get when you go through training when you get hired at a Regional.

It would have to be pretty similar, yes. But you still have to do it at the airline anyway, and they won't make you pay for it.

Fact is that some regionals will get you on with low time as long as you have a RJ type. So in fact, it does pay to get one if you are low time.
