ATP flight school? Good or bad?

How is ATP in regards to the "self-paced" option? If I had my druthers, I'd just go whole hog and knock out my ratings all at once. However, six to 10 months without a job kinda concerns me.

Work full time with a schedule that allows training in the morning. I worked the line 1400-2200, would train or build time in the mornings then head to work.

That's not a bad idea. With the pace of the program, would it be possible to not only fly but also put in enough study time while working full time?

I was thinking along those lines. That way, I could fly every day instead of just on my days off.

Sure. You aren't going to be flying more than 2 hours most days. Leaves plenty of time for studying.

I went part 61 and went very fast (359 days from first flight to CFI) so I don't know how well it would work with ATP's program. I had plenty of time to study. It really comes down to how committed are you? I know guys who were trying to do what I was doing, but they weren't as committed, fell behind on their own studies and still are not finished. If you put in the time to study and knock the writtens out of the way at the beginning of your training, the whole process will be a lot easier.
 
I literaly have "0" time in this industry, but 34tt and its more than enough time to convince me that I want to fly for the rest of my life. ATP School is just another route, It takes the 'right' attitude to get anything out of this world. My 2 cents are Im going, and Im applying myself, and Im going to meet folks and enjoy my training. :D weeeeee

First: Welcome to JC. You will find a wealth of information and people willing to help you on this forum.

With 34tt, you probably know this, but it doesn't matter where you get your ratings. Make sure you 'click' with the instructor(s) you choose to fly with and definitely have fun doing it. Let us know what part of the country you are in and there may be a fellow JCer or 3 that you could hook up with, split time with, take lessons from, tell lies with...you get the idea

Agai, welcome to Jetcareers.
