I would tend to agree on that, for the most part. I consider myself fortunate that, if I absolutely have to, I can come back to my current career (nuclear stuff) a year from now and once again be making more money than most regional airline pilots. I'd rather not, but the option is there. I may even end up doing part-time nuclear consulting or something and part-time flight instructing to build hours and also keep me afloat financially.

One of the biggest drawbacks to ATP for is the fact that I have over $25,000 of GI Bill money left to "burn" and they are not 141/VA approved. However, a couple hours ago I learned of a school called Ari-Ben Aviator that IS 141/VA approved AND is $20,000 cheaper than ATP, so I am looking at several forums discussing them. Being able to use my GI Bill could conceivably cut my loan amount in half.

Take care!
