Hello -


I want to let you know about some exciting news:

ATP purchases fleet of 20 Diamond D-JETs,
selected by Diamond to perform D-JET training
Announced at AOPA Expo 2006 in Palm Springs, CA​

“ATP announces its purchase of 20 Diamond D-JETs and 5 Diamond Flight Training Devices (FTDs) and the formation of a strategic training partnership with Diamond Aircraft, in which ATP will provide factory-approved initial type ratings and recurrent training in the Diamond D-JET at locations across the U.S.”



ATP also plans to integrate a D-JET type rating and nationwide jet cross-country experience into the Airline Career Pilot Program.

We wish you the best of success in achieving your career objectives.
Sincerely,
James

I did an ATP written with these clowns(a good service, actually) and I got this same email. This is where the SJS begins. And this will be the first visible step that I have seen toward the inevitable string of accidents that the VLJ market is going to bring to GA.

Let's see....any more acronyms I can use? Watch for the FAA relase a bunch of ACs regarding FT specific to these new A/C to keep stupid SOBs from busting their A's in these things. Man, that made me feel like a pilot.

Not really...It just seems that ATP may become a place to build not just quality multi time but also turbine PIC. All for 89,999 in just 90 days.

P.S. I got my multi commercial and MEI there. I felt it was a good program for the money. Maybe I should've taken them up on their offer to instruct there full time

If they really build all those micro-jets, it should put some pressure on the regional pilot market. Every single one one of those suckers will need a professional crew (135) or a professional baby-sitter (91).

If the insurance companies don't insist on it up front, they will after about a year!
