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?

and if you go to the bottom where the Hiring Alliances are and click on whichever airline you desire it will take you to the contract that ATP and the airline agreed upon.

$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?

 

[Connectionpilot]

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

uke:$24k for THAT?!??

Everything in that program is fluff, even the "100 hrs of ME." - It's most likely 50/50 safety pilot time flying their seminoles around with another ATP student under the hood.

Lowered hiring mins. and a guaranteed interview? Give me a break. You can get hired off the street with low time already without attending that rip-off.

50 MORE hours of SE time? - I can get "glass" time in from of my simulator.

The Gleim ATP book costs like $20 bucks or something. And none of these applicants even needs it. Most likely they don't even have the min. hours to checkride.

 

[Tonala2k]

Wow. For $25K here

Airport would match 10% 27,500
50 hrs G-1000 PIC (10dual) 4,300
100 hrs Multi PIC (10Dual) 11,250
And we will glady accept the raming $12k to let you play on our computer.

I'm worried that ATP is losing their base.
