Jim,

I really felt that I needed to tell you about my experience with
ATP.

I have obtained all my ratings through a Part 91 school and was
not to sure about an accelerated program. I have heard stories of
other people's experiences and was not sure I wanted to go that
route. I saw your specials when I visited your website and
decided to stop by the Sacramento location to see if I could meet
the staff and get a feel for the program to see if it would be a
fit. I met Chris, and he was very helpful and took the time to
make me some copies of study materials and give me the basic
rundown on the program...specifically the 5 day CFII/MEI. After
my CFI initial checkride, I studied for the Instrument writtens
and took them about 2 weeks later.

When I finally showed up on Sunday (Labor day weekend none the
less), I was greeted by John Cortez. After a nice meet and greet
and getting the appropriate paper work out of the way, he gave me
my schedule and we started a FTD session. From that point on, I
knew I made the right decision. I am huge on checklists,
procedures and am a stickler for precision maneuvers. I have a
saying..."An amateur practices until he gets it right  a
professional practices until he can't get it wrong", and after
working with John and then finishing with Brian Devincenzi, they
are BOTH professionals and ATP has got it right. You are lucky to
have them.

I have decided that ATP is a place I can call home and am going
to be applying there to teach. I look forward to working with
such a great team and hope to talk to you soon. I am also going
to be signing up for the Regional Jet Standards Program and look
forward to another great experience.

Fly safe,
Greg Patelzick
