I think one thing people need to look at with ATP, is first like most people say, it depends on the instructor. My time at ATP as both a student and instructor were descent. If you have a great instructor (Swank'nassious) to help you out you can do very well. If you don't, find one and talk to them. The good instructors are always willing to help out a student. Also, instructors are FORCED to work for more than they should at ATP. Students need to understand that some of their instructors would love to help them out more, but are so beaten down by the machine that is ATP, they can only do enough to keep the company off their back. For students, put in the work that is required and you'll do well. While I was an instructor, some students thought ATP was a big party and did not put in the work required to get that many ratings in such a short time span. The students who worked hard did well in the course, the ones who didn't did not. ATP is what you make it. Yeah, it is not for everyone, but it can be a descent place to go to. I left ATP to fly cargo and have done very well in all the training and on the line. I have not felt deficient in one area.
