Default Re: Considering ATP, but also Monarch Air

FBO training is just fine and Monarch is very good and successful at it. I would recommend anyone to them who wanted to be a private pilot. But, if you want to be an airline pilot and you want to get there in the shortest amount of time possible, then ATP is the place to do it. Period.

I'm Sorry but that is a very mis-informative statement to make to an aspiring pilot. Monarch is as good as place as any to become a pro pilot , just as good as ATP or any other academy. It has been said on these forums before and I'll say it again, A good instructor beats a good flight school everytime. I'm sure Monarch puts out alot of good pro pilots.

BTW some people still like flying "single-engine Cessna's"around.

Beware of the smoke and mirrors.

While I will agree with you, an airline pilot can come from anywhere and the flight school you attended doesn't make you one.. I wasn't going to say anything at all, but it urks me to see someone take something someone said waay out of context.. Did Jeremy ever state that ATP was the only flight school or that Monarch was a bad choice? I didn't see it, if he did.. I do however think he said "quickest" and as far as I know, very few people can take you from where ATP takes you in the amount of time they do it in..

Is ATP the only choice? Of course not, there are many flight schools to choose from, many of them being great schools that put out great pilots, like you said, the instructor makes the training worthwhile, not the physical school you attend..

However, can Monarch provide this guy with the same program in the same time frame and at the same cost as ATP?

Speaking of smoke and mirrors and misinformative statements, regardless of how much you or I enjoy flying singles or not, the fact is we all know how valuable multi time is at this point in the game just as well as we all know how well every extra hour of single time helps your resume stand out..
