I will be graduating in December with my bachelors in Aviation Management from Auburn University. I only recently decided that I would go the flying route instead of the desk/ATC/political route Im currently in. Ive been seriously looking into ALL of the flight schools for some time (even ones youve never heard of), and I am very impressed with what ATP has to offer as far as multi-time and all the other things they have. It seems to be the best bet as far as any of the schools go. I have spent a great deal of time on this forum as well as the ipilot one as well. ATP seems to be the ONLY school that has more positive posts than negative ones.
My question(s) is this: I have absolutely zero time (except for the occasional time flying around in a 172 with my roomate, but I dont think that counts), and am looking for the safest/fastest/most beneficial route to get me to my first paying job. Is ATP the way to go for me?
I understand you have to have your private and 85 hours prior. Should I enroll in their private course as well? I mean, unless Im a MORON there is no way it will take me 85 hours to earn my private....and Im not really financially well off enough to go rent a plane for 50 some hours just to build time.
So many questions...I dont even know where to begin. Someone help me.
Thanks.
