Where to go for an ATP

[damnflyboy]

Things are about to move quickly. My advice: let the company pay for the ATP at upgrade and save your money for 1st year FO pay at a legacy.

...of course, that wasn't your question: "to ATP or not to ATP".

If you're trying to further your career and become a more competitive legacy candidate, put the money toward a sex change. Ayyyyyeee Oooooh!

A... If u are going to an airline they could care less about an ATP... Even with 4500 hours u will still be an FO for 4 to 6 years. U will get an ATP on your type ride, much easier in the sim and it's free. As for allatps instructed there for a little while, the program is great.

John Trask, Presque Isle, ME (PQI)

Went to John in March. $2250

Very laid back and straight forward process.

Great experience. He gets you done in the morning, go to lunch with him

and he gives you a ride back to the airport to pick up the Colgan flight to

boston.

Thinking about going to John Trask, Presque Isle, ME. What is the oral like? What is the type of aircraft that he uses?

He has an old Seneca I with an HSI and he will send you the info on it ahead of time. Headsets are already in the airplane as well as the charts you will need. He told me the Oral was discussed after breakfast. About 30 minutes of talking about his airplane. What I hear anyway. I wouldn't sweat it. I did mine at ALL ATPs and my oral was about 35 minutes and VERY straight forward. I would expect John's oral to be even better.
