Why is Tug talking cr@p? I personally witnessed a few folks walking out of an ATA class once - Tug was one of them. One of the lecturers preferred taking the p1ss, that day, to answering "simple" questions, resulting in a little upset. If your questions aren't being answered whilst you're paying good money, well, it's better to study at home with the notes! There aren't any "stupid" questions when you're under ATPL exam pressures.
On the whole, though, ATA are a very professional outfit and I would recommend them. As somebody already said - they have all the answers and Pete Quinlan is the guardian angel of many a flight planning rookie. He saved my bacon!
Have fun y'all!
