I see a lot of people with questions regarding the ATP Airline Career Pilot program. I started the program 2 days ago, March 7, 2016. I want to make this thread for people who want to get a first hand account of someone who is actually in the program. A little about me, I am a completely new pilot, do not have any hours, so I am starting from zero time. The program cost me $74,500 which includes $5,000 for checkride fees. I got a fixed rate loan with Wells Fargo at 6% interest. I'd love to answer any questions anyone has about the program. I'll also try to keep updating this thread with pictures and a small recap of what the days look like.
Days 1 & 2:
When you start from zero time, you need to accumulate 7 hours before you start maneuvers such as steep turns and stalls. I am halfway through the 7 hours and should be done with them tomorrow. I added some pics, the planes all appear to be in awesome shape and sound great all throughout the Flight. Hope this info is helpful to some of you guys. I'll keep the updates coming for anyone interested.
