ATP experience

rjordan85 · March 28th, 2008, 00:35

hello,
everywhere i look i see good things and bad things posted about all different flight schools. I was wondering if anyone who is currently attending or who has recently attended ATP could share with me some ups and downs of the program? I am currently looking for a sept 08 start at the PHX location. A lot of stuff that i have heard is all hear-say. Please anyone with PERSONAL experience at ATP, please share with me and anyone else in my situation your experience (good and bad). Thanks in advance.

I would say use the search function! There are a few experienced post. You will see the good, the bad, the ugly..... All different views on ATP....

Check out my blog below, or you can search under my log-on for many of the posts I have made about ATP.

What it comes down to: I recommend the program!

The good far outweighs the bad at ATP, I'd do it again.

With all due respect, this forum is highly biased. Look beyond this forum if you want to hear both sides of the story.

I had a luke warm experience with ATP. I wouldn't discourage someone from going there, but I try to point out that there are other places where you can get just as good training and save yourself some coin.

With all due respect, this is also a very small industry, one thing you never do is bad mouth a former company or previous flight schools, especially with a user name such as mine. What ever you say will come back around and bite you in one way or another, so the very best thing you can do is remain positive about everything. Am I 100% happy with ATP? No. Am I glad I went and got all my ratings as fast as I did? YES. If I was given a choice between SUA and JAX, I would choose SUA.. AGAIN!

I'm pretty sure he's set in the industry and has more experience then yourself..... Might want to check that out before you tell him about the industry!

Mature response..... Keep in mind your orginal comment there.... How small of an industry this is.....

You seem to be new and rather inexperience with the number of post so I will not hold that against you! However I would just advise you to come with a better attitude and check that one at the door.

Thank you for the constructive criticism, that I will gladly accept!
