Is there a flight school out there with a better placement program?

Question

I am looking at going to Airline Transport Professionals for flight training taking the full Career pilot program with the private add on. I want to go there mainly for their regional carrier agreemnet program. I really don't want to spend $63K on it but i don't want to have to wait 5 years to get a job.

Answer 2

whether you want to fly for the airlines, cargo operator or corporate company, or whatever. you will need a multi engine commercial certificate with instrument rating.. and thats gonna cost you.. plus most large operators want you to have a 4 year degree.. make sure to look into the degree requirement! it may or may not take you 5 years to get a job. it all depends on how much time you devote to training.. many larger schools like ATP offer some kind of "airline" training which basically consists of time spent in a simulator very similar to the ones used by regional airlines. 63k may be a little on the high side, but it includes all the certificates and ratings you will need to get a job minus the college degree.  

there isnt really such a thing as a placement program.. these schools just get you everything you need to get a job.. its up to you to send out resumes and put on a show when you get an interview.. but with the way things are right now, going through some kind of "airline" training greatly increases you chances of getting a job faster..

Answer 3

In order to get the job you have to pay and thats about it.

Answer 4

Go through your local FBO or Some Colleges offer programs they will do it for much cheaper. Regionals right now are hiring tons of pilots with lower hours and qualifications.
