Can anyone recommend a good place to get my ATP? I have all the hours etc, just need a flight or 2 and the checkride.

However, time is very limited, and I will be flying in from Asia. So preferably West USA or Hawaii or Guam.

Any great packages or places out there?

Thanks

Check out www.airdesertpacific.com based at Bracket Airport, Pomona in Southern California. I have friends who did their ATP's there. Costs are reasonable and they specialise in commercial training packages. Ask for Steve Holmes to be your examiner, ex American Airlines Captain, he's a great guy!

These guys specialize in training towards the ATP. If you need the written test, they have a preparation course that takes a couple of days, and the flying portion can take 5-10 hours.

They fly new, excellently maintained Seminoles, and have a number of facilities throughout the Southwest USA.

ALL ATPs is in a completely different league than ADP.

Good luck

Thanks guys.
Now all I need to work out is if I need the TSA clearance and a visa. Every flight school I contacted has a very different interpretation.
