ATP's Airline Transition Program

[Connectionpilot]

For those that have gone through it or are going through it, what to do you think about it? I see its $24,000, is it worth every penny? Pros and Cons?

$24,000 on top of all your ratings sounds like at least $60,000 for a $22,000 a year job. On top of a 4-year degree you might be lucky to pay your loans off by the time you retire. What a deal!

No I'll already have all my ratings, the only thing I would need is multi engine time.

You can buy a lot of Multi-Time for $24,000. Talk to your flight school and ask about a block package for that much, I'm sure their eyes will open wide.

I go to DCA, that will just make their eyes shut and laugh at me. I might could get 30 hours for that much

Sorry to hear you go to DCA. Try an FBO on the field that might help you more and obviously for a lot LESS pennies.

Hey, don't you get an interview after the cheap and easy DCA? Why would you be looking at ATP? do you know RHOID?

Yea you do, but it takes a hell of a long time to get there and alot of unneeded stress.
