Please do not attend this school. I genuinely encourage anyone considering ATP to think very carefully before investing their time, money, and future here. If you’re trying to decide where to complete your flight training, I strongly recommend looking at other options first.

I'm going to start from the top and justify the reasoning behind my one star rating. To begin, this program will leave you in crippling debt.
