Cost Increase???

[beechboy85]

Does ATP tend to increase their training costs at the beginning of each calender/fiscal year?

When was the last increase, and does anyone expect an increase in the next few months?

[SpiraMirabilis]

Not necessarily. These days its based more on the price of avgas and mx I would imagine.

Well, prices at the pump seem to be coming DOWN lately.

But I bet tuition at any Flight School won't be.

Well it might if Ari-Ben lowers prices and takes a lot of ATP students, they are lower than ATP already.

None of these "flight schools" are going to ever lower their prices. Fact is they are still having a high demand of people wanting to pursue their "career" and therefore are willing to spend whatever it takes to do so. The fact of the matter is even if gas prices went down to $2-3 they would still charge just as much because they can and will still get a student base. I dont forsee anyone in the near future lowering their prices and it does not depend on Ariben lowering theirs due to them alreadying being the lower of all the "multi schools" (skymates, ariben, atp).

I wouldn't trade my experience at ATP, but if I had to do it all over again, i wouldn't be able to afford going to ATP with the new prices. I can barely make payments on the $57k loan I have now.
