I graduated from the Airline Career Pilot Program in January 2010, and I truly enjoyed
“ the entire course. ATP instructors and staff are top notch. The cross country portion
of the program is amazing and by far the best practical fl ying experience a student
will ever get. After building multi-engine experience as an ATP instructor myself,
I achieved a First Offi cer position with American Eagle just one year later.
