Re: ATP thoughts from currently attending or most recent gra Well, everyone has a point. If you can get it done for that price, then do it. But on the other hand if you want it done quick and get some multi time, which is important for the regionals, then go with ATP, I had got my PPL in 2003 and was trying to find time and money to get my CMEL and Instrument, and everything else. I decided to go to ATP cause its going to be a life long career and I figured to deal with it and get my stuff done in a quick and well rounded manner. I really don't have anything bad to say about ATP. But again I paid 49K for my training, with the Citation flight. I guess its gone up quite a bit. Also the jet course is kinda a joke from what my friends have told me, some airlines really like it though, I heard of guys that went through ATP did the jet course with the program and got hired at Pinnacle, ASA, and a couple more with as low as 250TT. So i guess its pretty good, But do what you want that would be best for you and your future as a pilot. Take Care, and Good Luck!
