I happen to agree with you DE727UPS. I'm not concerned with what ATP will try to sell to new students but whether or not these new guys have been keeping up with whats going on. Has ATP addressed the issues of perhaps not having a job 2 months after being hired? Have ACPP students thought about a back up? Is ATP still doing on sight interviews?

I know sure as heck they helped me get a few interviews but with hundreds of qualified pilots flooding the unemployment line, myself included in a few months... i'm a little concerned about people spending almost 80k for a program like this without any thought of what they will do when they can't get an interview nevermind a hire date. This isn't an ATP thing... i just happen to attend ATP so figured i'd ask it here. Maybe its not my place to worry about this but i'm curious to know what schools like ATP and the individuals themselves are doing to prepare themselves for a possibility of not finding a job at the end of the program.
