I'm currently a CFI at Monarch Air in Addison, KADS. I can personally tell you that working for Monarch your chances of getting to the airlines or a corporate job are not slim.

Most instructors here move on to the airlines or another jet flying job within one year. It all comes down to how much multi time you have.

Working at Monarch you will get TONS of flying time. You must be an MEI to get some valuable multi time as well.

As for training, we provide the highest quality flight training in the area with the newest aircraft, including the largest G-1000 fleet. Unlike ATP we won't force training down your throat like drinking from a fire hose. For some people that is better, for others it is not.

We provide a home study course through King Schools DVDs which includes labs which must be completed. In addition, I also do ground lessons with my students every few flights and require they read chapters out of the Airplane Flying Handbook and others.

Plus, ATP out of KADS is pretty small with only a few planes. Their main school is out of Arlington Municiple, KGKY-otherwise known and Going to Kill Yourself airport. GKY is a mess of primary students doing touch & gos on ONE runway at an airport with NO radar and towers controllers who are basically traffic directors. The Indian students from Skymates many times don't respect traffic pattern rules, plus regional approach doesn't direct traffic down there so you are left alone in the air. I personally would never fly out of GKY again...I did it for a few months last year and that was enough.

I suggest you come take a look at Monarch either at KADS or KTKI. You will be impressed by our school, training, and fleet. Let me know if you have any questions.
