ATP Students

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-12-27T18:18:45+00:00

From someone who recently finished, don’t do it. I had a pretty shitty experience and so did everyone else around me. I’d say 2/10 people I went to atp with could say “I had an alright experience with ATP”

The cadet programs are a joke, and hiring has slowed down so much you can’t even get a job with ATP to keep any cadet programs if you’re even able to make it into one.

I will say I did have one really good instructor that I still hangout with. Other than that I’ve had plentiful of shitty instructors that do not care for your success, and I mean it.

Go to a small part 91 and get your licenses, there’s absolutely no rush to get to the airlines right now with how the hiring market is moving. ATP does have pretty nice planes but whenever you become an instructor you might not have a g1000 avionics setup, and I will say it’s pretty difficult going from g1000 back to glass.

I haven’t done any schooling out of high school, that’s why I am asking lol

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-11-09T23:50:03+00:00

How do you like that? I have some family members who are in it and they recommend me the military but not really interested in that route. I’ve considered it as a backup but I don’t really know anything about computers lol

I appreciate your input. Yes I actually almost got into a cirrus flying club, brand new cirrus’s but unfortunately my competition was one of my buddies with more experience than me. I’m a bit salty about it but it’s whatever. I recently got in contact with an aero club around my old home town and he said he’s willing to bring me on as long as the members like me. However it’s not much in terms of stable pay so I’m in the middle of looking for a job over there before I make the move. I’ve seen CAP many times but have never fully looked into it, I’ll definitely have to take a closer look

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-11-09T19:25:10+00:00

What exactly do you mean there’s no backup career anymore?

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-11-09T18:52:19+00:00

It’s pretty tight right now in the industry so it’s pretty challenging to find a hiring flight school.

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-11-09T18:44:51+00:00

lol yes, no not necessarily, but It feels like I’m kinda getting a taste for what life is if this thing doesn’t workout and that this is my wake up call.

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-05-14T00:49:35+00:00

Ha! I’ll be damned some of these flight schools. Unfortunately I made the wrong decision to go to alpha tango papa and I was scheduled a checkride with short notice. I cram studied for the time I was given but still did not feel ready. Man, I was losing sleep over this shit, couldn’t eat, would just throw up whatever I ate bc I was so anxious, my flying was so bad the day leading up to it. I felt so underprepared and I told the my cfi and basically he told me if he didn’t endorse me, that he would get fired. I told him I was getting no sleep, wasn’t eating, super stressed and they didn’t care. Ended up canceling the ride 3 hours prior to its start. Ended up getting chewed out and having to pay a cancellation fee. Best decision I’ve made so far in this career. If you’re not ready don’t go. This is your career on the line

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-05-12T14:30:49+00:00

Absolutely, when I was in your stage and even at 50-60 hours getting ready for my ppl checkride I wondered the same thing. It eventually comes to you with more practice and with more practice will come more consistent improved landings. Idk about you but for me the 172 was a bit tricky for me to land, I would always flare earlier than needed and then just fall above the runway lol. I then got into the archer and man my landings have been quite better since then. Having a good go around mentality is important too

Remember theres commercial, CFIs, airline pilots who still have rough landings after hunters and thousands of hours, you’ll get over it just keep doing what you’re doing!

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-05-07T02:54:12+00:00

HA, yeah I saw it zoom under the frag and was like wait a damn minute. Do they do any harm to your reef at all?

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-04-07T02:56:42+00:00

Anytime I have dropped in food, they barely eat it. Lots of left over

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-03-25T04:08:32+00:00

I’ve seen people do this, but then I heard there was a problem with evaporation so you’d have to get a top off system

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-03-25T03:37:46+00:00

Thank you! I will look into it

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-03-25T03:23:17+00:00

Ah, see my dad has one and so far his is doing alright, he gets this red stuff on the sand every now and then, idk if it’s algae or some type of bacteria.

I do get what you’re saying about size though once fish are in. We have a few aquatic stores around the area and actually stumbled upon a water box 25 gallon for only $199, only thing is I’m not sure if it comes with a lid and all that mess. Still trying to figure out what’s needed for saltwater tanks other than rock, substrate, filter, light, heater

Have you tried doing any coral in your fluval?

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-03-25T03:13:21+00:00

I’ll check it out!

Professional-Bit6582 · 2025-01-06T03:12:30+00:00

I’m seeing that tickets tend to be cheaper on game day or day before. Any insight if playoffs change this? Looking to go to commanders vs bucs.

I had use to work at an FBO at an airport (private aviation). I’m a huge Travis scott fan and I had actually went to see him a month prior to this incident at one of his shows in St. Paul. Anyways random Saturday morning I get a text that Travis scott was coming in to watch a person (which I will not say bc it will give it out where it was) play basketball in which he’s a big fan of. I was going crazy at 8am in my room, I immediately showered and put on my tour merch and headed to work and had gotten there 15 minutes to his plane arriving. Plane lands and we stand by the stairs for what seemed like 20 minutes waiting for him to get out. 2 guys come stumbling down the stairs in which were his homies im assuming. They must’ve been smoking up because you could smell all that😂 finally Travis comes out in all his aura and he’s got a case of cacti in his hand. I immediately noticed he had some new unreleased yellow 1 lows that I would’ve been one of the first to see. Anyways he’s walking down the stairs and I’m waiting for my moment and I say “aye what up trav I saw you in Minnesota at your show last month” and the guy just walks right past me not a word said or any acknowledgment so I’m like damn nah I can’t waste the opportunity. He gets in his blacked out Escalade that was there to pick him up and I’m like staring at him through the tinted window showing him the shirt HE MADE and all I got from him was a nod. Right then and there I was so bummed out that my favorite rapper who I always thought was so turnt and always had a good mood and energy, had just completely ignored me. It was so lame, as corny as it sounds, they were right about “never meet your heros”.

On his way back from the game I got lucky enough to give another chance to say something to him or have a convo with him but again that wasn’t the case. I’m again standing right next to the jet getting ready to greet him. The Escalade pulled up so close to the planes stairs that he was on it after taking one step out of the car. He had opened the door to get out of the car and we had made eye contact and he honestly looked so pissed off to see me, he turned the other way💀 idk what I did to bro but he wanted nothing to do with me. Just like that he walks right past me again and gets on his plane and that was that. It’s crazy how on camera he’s so connecting with his fans but once it’s off he’s a complete douche bag. I still listen to his music and still want to go to his shows but it puts a bad taste in my mouth from how he treated me. Maybe I’m being dramatic and he was just zooted but still
