I'll give them a jingle tomorrow see if i can get an answer
Unfortunately a lot of people at ATP do not have back ups. Many high school grads without any secondary education. In addition some with college educations looking for a fast track who have given up their previous jobs (good and bad). However now they have that 80k loan to pay off. So what are their choices? They could stick it around ATP and guarantee themselves 24k while flying instructing (24k without any taxes taken out), go back and try to get their previous jobs back, or apply with the many more qualified 121 pilots for the same regional jobs..... None of which sound all that appealing, unless the old job was one hell of a paying job. 80k I have no clue wht a payment on that would be, more then 600 and upwards of what 900 a month to 1000 a month? That's more then my parents mortgage.
