To have a successful program with ATP and any school in that case you must develop a trait called "delayed gratification". Expecting every thing to go your way is childish and not realistic. Aviation is unlike any other industry. There's lots of factors that come into play that absolutely no one has any control over (weather, maintenance, etc.) Although this may not be as pleasant as sitting on your couch at home. It's for people who have a passion for the industry and want to have an aviation career and are willing to make an investment and see it all the way through. I'm a graduate from ATP and I had multiple delays due to unexpected occurrences and I didn't quit or cry about it. It's a part of life and it's what makes the industry beautiful in its own way. If you're looking for a career in aviation ATP sets you up with absolutely every resource you need to have an absolutely amazing experience and a successful completion as well as many resources and connections to all the major airlines. They are very understanding and will work with any of your needs as long as you have the right attitude about it and you show them your commitment to the program by applying yourself to what you started and having a winning attitude! Without a doubt about it 5 star review!!

It affected my confidence as a pilot and also I had a lot of (unnecessary) financial stress caused by the school and the owner Seth. If you are a new pilot seeking guidance and support, this is not the school to go to! In terms of their actual flight training, I can look back and realize that their instruction was very lackluster. Safety was not a top priority, rather it felt like everyone at the school was there to socialize. Now that I have experience at a new school, I can reflect on policies/procedures that were not implemented at JBA. One of the biggest things being that I didn't have an official personal weather minimums on paper. Frankly, I was a new pilot and didn't know how important this is for solo flights, but JBA instructors failed to teach me this. In fact, the morning before the flight where I had my hard landing, I had texted my instructor expressing concern about the weather/winds and was told I "would be fine". I was also taught to "salvage" my landings when I bounced, and there wasn't a strong emphasis on go arounds. This nonchalant attitude was pretty standard at JBA, which is dangerous when operating an aircraft (especially a student). Additionally, the financial turmoil that JBA and specifically the owner of the school, Seth, caused me was one of the worst parts of this experience. I had the insurance that the school REQUIRED me to have, so I thought that everything would be okay with the school when I had to use said insurance. I was very wrong because Seth came after me personally and sent me a bill for $81,000. He kept calling/texting my personal number even though I made it clear that I wanted everything to be handled with the agent assigned to my case through email. He also kept approaching me at the gym where I regularly go to (and he occasionally goes to) and tried to talk to me about personal matters in a very public setting. Seth's unethical handling of the aircraft damage claim and questionable billing was very disappointing. My conclusion for JBA is that its flight program is severely inadequate and does not promote safety. My experience is proof of that, and Seth's conduct and attitude further confirm my exceedingly low opinion of his operation.

ATP is not worth the time or the money. I was very hopeful to start at the ATP flight school. The…read moreinstructors attitudes were much different during the intro flight rather than actually attending. There's no requirements to get admitted except money and loan approval. However, once you are part of the school, you get treated very badly and one of my instructor have a very discriminatory attitude especially towards me as a women. I have immigrated from a country were all the rules were against me and I was very restricted. But here, in the United States, my instructor told me "Men are Better pilots than women!" or "have you ever realized you've been away from school for awhile and this is not a good program for you" or "you know what? You have language barrier and do not understand me!" I have spent $75 per hour for such discouraging and discriminatory comment during debriefing for 18 hours. There's once again no requirement to join this program, not age neither gender just money and first class medical! nobody would advise you to study ground school before starting the program and most of instructors are unable to teach general fundamentals of flight in the ground you should just look at them and mirror them to learn how to fly! very unprofessional instructors ! they were speaking behind my back while I could hear them from next door classroom. My instructor took me up and keep texting on the phone. They fool you by CFI JOB GUARANTY and airline career pathway while put too much pressure on the CFI s to schedule flights for students to make more money for corporation and CFI's feel frustrated to lose their job every single day! I was hopeful to start at HQ of ATP in jacksonville FL, with in site maintenance However, in 20 days of training, 2 flights were canceled due to the maintenance issues while their advertisements is saying they have New fleets. At least for me as an initial students, the newest plane I had was one from 1974! If you go to any other school with decent instructors and better planes you pay $230 per hour, However, at ATP you pay $350. They ask you to pay for their tuition and some of their unprofessional instructors salary. They have CFI classes every week but most of their instructors do not know anything about teaching skills. The lady who oversees Florida's schools student progress, just showed up after 28 hours to sign me off from program and the whole time I was struggling she was never existed! No ground school for private at all and their online classes on zoom is not productive. there is no consistency and they just want you to wear the uniform and turn the camera on only for FAA purposes! If I had issues in my learning ability, why my instructor took me for 22 hours and nobody overseeing my progress or weaknesses into the program, and not sooner? Overall ATP is not as advertised at least in my location but with many similar experiences I believe it's like this in many places. Save your money and save your time and go to a local school where you are instructed by people who truly care for your success and aren't trying to just use you to fill up their own hours and move on and your money for corporation's profits!
