Flight schools

bradg412 · March 16th, 2006, 18:52

I am planning on attending a flight school such as ATP, PAN AM, DELTA, but i was looking for more info from people that have attended there or know someone that has attended there.

Doug Taylor · March 16th, 2006, 18:54

See above.

MarkE · March 16th, 2006, 19:03

I don't think there's anyone here that has either been to any of them or know's anyone that HAS been there. Someone call me a ######!!

Doug Taylor · March 16th, 2006, 19:06

Nah, there's Pan Am students and lots of ATP students, but considering Delta Connection Academy put me thru two months of misery, there's no way I can even dream of recommending their flight school.

ATP is a good school. Pan Am... I plea the 5th. DCA... I plea the 5th. You may want to check out Westwind in Phoenix (KDVT).

GOOD LUCK!

Watch the banner ads at the top of the screen.

The schools Doug accepts advertising from are good quality schools that aren't out to scam you.

Personally, I was a little shocked that after the actions over the past month that anyone would ask here about DCA.

I can't find the 'any' key on the keyboard! I'm stuck at the "Press Any Key to Continue" prompt!

Whoa Nelly......It's the big locked/sticky post at the very top. No need to get to whipped up. Maybe I should have posted the

tag. Get out out of the lav once in awhile there's lots to see.

The sun was out today for a while too...

I've gotten to the point that I try to avoid the Lav quite a bit - keeps me thinking about flying!!

jtrain609 · March 16th, 2006, 22:54

I try to avoid the lav, but I keep getting sucked in to argue with 15 year olds about political economy issues.

ColMustard · March 16th, 2006, 23:05

Thats messed up Doug. Thanks for maintaining the high standard at JC. This is the only forum I spend any time on, so keep up the good work!

You ought to try the forums below devoted to the individual programs such as ATP, Ari Ben, Skymates, Pan Am, etc.

British Pilot · March 17th, 2006, 11:10

My CFI just finished up at ALLATPS and is now at my local FBO. He said it was a great experience and school, but had a significant wash out rate on some of the accelerated programs, and felt that up to CFI it was an ideal way of building hours and ME time quickly. Apparently most ratings after PPL are done in twins.

This is only one man's opinion....

well, see now.. that's what i was going to say...

if some of the new people would just look around the website & forums first before posting - some of these answers are smack dab in front of our face!!

of course, it goes to say that the folks posting in those forums are those who have or are attending there.

What political economy issues? Im 15 and I don't argue about that stuff.

n57flyguy · March 17th, 2006, 12:12

I called ATP to get some infromation (not that it matters in five years) but the guy I talked to told me not to go to DCA becuase "he got F**** out of 60,000 bucks" I didnt even ask, he told me.
