I've been reading for a while now about this ATP scheme and I think its probably about time we had some comments from those that have done the scheme and maybe those that have experienced their students.
Are these students any better/worse more/less capable than other people joining the companies? ie, how do they compare to the First Officers in easyjet and midland?
Who are the guys running the scheme? Captain Jonathan Curd is listed, but it cant be a 'one man band'? Can it? Presumably he has a good reputation to do this scheme, and from what I can see it seems to offer work on completion.
Once you have been trained, YOU will be a high quality commodity and we have several airlines waiting to sign you up as a direct entry First Officer with full salary and benefits.
Surely thats a good thing?
Have any gone on to get work after the scheme?
If you have been through the scheme perhaps you can post your experience.
