I am 27 years old and, even though well into my career, have decided to follow my lifelong dream and make a significant career change...

If I went that route, I could obtain the additional multi-engine time to "catch up" for about $15k, which would bring me in $9k LESS than the ATP program at the newly posted rate increases...

I'm 28 and I'm sick of crappy jobs too!

I just got my Private License a couple weeks ago at the local FBO because I didn't know about ATP when I started.

If you start prior to October 31 I don't think you have to pay the $4,000 rate increase...?

... If I pursued the Fast Track options, is there any possibility that I would be able to eek out 10-12 hours per week to do homework for my grad classes?

If the answer is yes I will be REALLY surprised!

Last question: If I did the Self-Paced program at ATP, I would probably do it at Portland. Anybody know which airport in the Portland area is used? I'm assuming it's not PDX. Also, what is the quality of instruction there versus other centers?

I realize this is a long post for a first timer, but I have decided I'm going to do this come heck or high water, and I'm trying to very rapidly finalize the details.

Thank you!

Looking at this page http://www.atpflightschool.com/flying/index.html it shows that their school in Oregon is "SLE"- Salem. I don't understand why they call it "Portland" either, since Portland and Salem are not at all close to each other.

That's all I know. I'm just hanging out here to learn too.

I'm going to call for my phone interview on Monday!

Everyone else here knows a lot more about ATP than I do- you'll get lots of responses tomorrow.
