You sound like a real pleasure to fly with....Oh how I wish you were one of my students. That would make my day.
But we forget if you say anything negative about ATP you are the anti christ.
ehh whatever...No point in responding to this "3 engine" again. Nothing worse than a private pilot in training who thinks he has a job and a sense of entitlement.

Who knows bro.... its why I am hesitant to post in the ATP section. if you have anything negative to say you get someone who just started flying 90 days ago telling you that you know nothing. ...
If you pass the written exam and the checkride you qualify and EARNED that rating whether you self rightous people on here think so or not. That is FACT. No, passing the checkride does not mean you are now god and know everything there is to know. But it means the examiner thought you were qualified enough to use that rating/cert or he would not have signed your ticket.
Of course, you should not go out and shoot approaches in full IMC down to minimums the day after you pass the instrument. No one should, not the ATP grad or the guy who spent 20 years getting his instrument rating, even if he does happen to have 1000 solo VFR cross country hours.
Dont buy into the lies that you will be a bad pilot, you will be just as good as the next guy. A pilot who trains at an FBO is not better than an ATP pilot. The training at ATP is just as good if not better than an FBO, you will have good instructors and there are some bad instructors just like an FBO. It is fast paced but if your instructor is good he will help you when you need it. ATP will work with you even if you fail a couple checkrides as long as you give the impression that you are atleast trying. If it looks like your being lazy and not studying or missing training days for stupid reasons they will not work with you.
Take this from a current ATP student...
It dont bother me that you guys post your negative exeriance about a school... It bothers me when you guys here are saying theres only one way to go about it and ATP is as worthless as it gets. I cant stand when I see people tell me that ATP is the only way to go either. I remember when you was going through training you would post about ATP too just like these other new ATP guys are now... maybe you should read some of your post history just for fun?
IMO theres nothing worse then responding to someone who has NEVER been through the WHOLE accelerated program yet they think its the worse thing on earth.
I had one bust on my instrument rating which could easily have been avoided if I had had a proper brief on the checkride. And if had my flights slightly more spaced out I may have done better.
TOS
My response is to the attitude of 3 engine, and a lot of other private pilots at day 40 in ATP's program. Granted you get some punk kids at FBO's, but i've seen far more private pilots in training with this entitlement come out of ATP and the likes lately.
And no, i've never been through the WHOLE program. In fact, never been through any of the program. Did all of my ratings for half the cost, and paid for 4.3 hours of multi engine time. The rest, I was paid for...And I could also say, I don't think i'd ever have landed my dream corporate job, paying nearly 2.5 times my peers at the regionals, if I did go to ATP. Works both ways buddy.
Ummm proper brief on the checkride? It's called the PTS. If you can't make it through ATP 90 day course good luck with airline ground school. The same fire hose training at ATP is the same fire hose training at an airline. My training at Eagle was a little harder for me as I was a self paced student (I finished the private and career in 10 months..so I wasn't tooo self paced...worked a 40 hour a week job).
I'm not saying ATP is perfect. But if you are an adult (not just 18+) and 100% research and understand what you are getting in to...ATP is just fine.
Had quite a few buddies who were hired at AE. Never once did anyone say fire hose
