Mega ultra congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 on being accepted! I'm just now considering where to begin my studies at ground zero! All the best 🏆 and thanks much for the super down to earth and realistic content! ✈️✈️✈️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yesterday I went toured a part 141 school and they informed me all about the Aviate program. Talk about timing with this video. Once I'm done with my degree ill go right into flight school and look into this program. I was recommended to just apply once I get my PPL since they'll only test me on that content which would make it easier. Thanks for the video and I'm glad you got picked up by them.
So as someone who just applied to aviate, I had a couple of questions. 1. When you talked about united not paying for accommodations, you mentioned hotels but how about a rental car if you needed one? If you didn't need one, what transportation did you use. 2. Was there anything that you thought you needed for the interview that wasn't listed in the interview prep guide? 3. I know you mentioned that there wasn't really any way to see what specific questions they would ask. During the interview, was it fairly stressful or were all the questions the sort of usual "what would you do if..." questions?
@@Vincent12 speaking from experience or just from your echo chamber? I have a cousin who went to the same school and had no problem with it, and given where I live and my current situation it’s the best option.
@@IGrocker personal experience. ATP is great if you get a good instructor who is willing to do grounds with you and care about their students. My instructor was vaping while we would fly, would never do grounds with me (even though I asked all the time). He was super unprofessional and the lead was one of his best buddy’s. There are stories of people down in Mesa that went through 4 different instructors just during their private. I decided to leave because they were doing things that I found were unsafe, unhelpful, and weren’t responsible with my money. Ended up going to another flight school and have loved every minute there. I’ve also had friends who now work as a cfi for ATP and they hate it. Nobody really likes it but if you get lucky with your cfi and just want to get all your ratings quick, then it can be a good fit. Good luck and I wish you all the best!
@@Vincent12 thanks for the input! Sorry for being a bit snarky. I’m considering going to another school that’s in Texas (I’m in Wisconsin), but moving my family that far will be difficult to say the least. I’ve had really good interactions with them though and it’s not entirely off the table. I did a discovery flight at the Wisconsin ATP and the only thing I noticed (after I’ve been working on my private) was that the instructor rushed through the preflight. I don’t want to rush through training, but I don’t want to spend the next 3-5 years working on my ratings and getting hours if I can avoid it.
Would love to come back, finding the time is just the hardest part. Hopefully my schedule will clear up soon and I can get back into making these videos.
Happy Birthday Ethan! Aviate & Delta Propel is at the top of my list as soon as I get my PPL, and this video was very helpful and cleared a lot of the questions I had in my mind! Congrats and good luck in the program, blue skies!
UAA fosters a culture of intimidation. Many students have been let go after speaking out or complaining to hire-ups for vague reasons, and therefore students currently at the school are too scared to speak out. School management constantly has all eyes and ears open for any sign of dissent or criticism and is looking over everyone’s shoulder.
Thanks for the information. So am I to understand that the aviate program is not only for those that have no experience but also MEI's like yourself? What will they expect you do at their Aviate Academy if you pretty much have all of the credentials already? Do you have to take all of the tests all over again? How does that work? Please clarify. Thank you
Hey! I messaged u on Instagram but in case u don’t see it i copied it here lol. I just have a few questions I am 19 and about to start my 2nd year of college (architecture major). This year I plan on getting my medical and PPL at a mom and pop while still in school. After that I’m not really sure if I should do the 3rd year of college or take a leap and start ATP/flight school instead. Also do u think it’s best to finish all of ATP before doing something like UA’s aviate? Or is there a spot like midway thru the program that would be better to join at? Thanks in advance!
@@TakingFlightWithEthan Captain Ethan, if I did not study at ATP and studied at one of the other flight schools when I finish my studies and apply for a job as a pilot in any airline, will my chances of being appointed as a pilot decrease because I did not study at ATP?
As long as you’re a good DEI candidate, you’re in. United now is all about HR (and DEI) driving everything, and HR runs the show. Gone are the days of an airline Captain scrutinizing the absolute “best” candidates for a pilot slot. Gone are the days of sitting in a simulator and being evaluated on your judgement and pilot skills . . . by an actual PILOT! Instead, the HR oriented “therapist” will ask you touchy-feely questions, and how you FEEL about being a Captain some day. I can hear the keyboards clicking away already defending the DEI initiatives: “We hire ONLY qualified candidates.” Yes, pilot candidates and new hires are “qualified” but the flying public is unequivocally interested in pilots and pilot candidates being the “MOST” qualified . . . not just “qualified.” Your heart surgeon may have graduated med school, and is “qualified” to tear open your chest, but don’t you want the one that graduated top of his class, despite the color of his skin or his preferred pronouns?! When an engine explodes on takeoff, NO ONE in the plane is asking, “Man, I sure hope the pilots are minorities or women.” So, have fun at United (or any of the airlines now) . . . where safety is a priority . . . but diversity and inclusion is a higher one.

Glad the timing was good! I think it’s a great program. Thank you very much as well!
I think your plan is perfect as well btw:-)

From another Ethan, congrats! I’m starting my private license in less than a week, with a tentative start time of this fall to attend ATP
ATP is awful. Do not go there

For vague reasons...red flag. They should be let go.
I read this same comment on a reddit post, word for word. copy an paste?
Congrats mate, but I am slightly disappointed that you are not going to RyanAir.
what bro 💀
Does the prep guide give you all the technical information that you need to study for or should I do the King ATP course first?

When did you do your background test and drug test? You didn’t really go over that part of process?
Hey man, been waiting for an update for the past 8 months.
Thanks for your patience brother🤙 Been super busy!!
@@TakingFlightWithEthan Understandable hope you the best, and always we will be waiting for a new video
For the interview prep guide do you get that after you apply for the interview date?
Hey! I messaged u on Instagram but in case u don’t see it i copied it here lol. I just have a few questions

Thanks in advance!
What about working for ups? Can you do it, or you need airline flight time experience?
Hey man if u have a bad gpa after high school u still can get acepted in atp flight school

Did you get to select your interview date or was it just assigned to you?
How long from the time you applied to the time you got a first email?

Does atp offers housing to live in the school or close to !t ?
Did you get your bachelor degree before going into the Aviate program?
Well it says in his bio he’s 18, so no.
Hi ethan can i ask you a question?
Sure!
@@TakingFlightWithEthan Captain Ethan, if I did not study at ATP and studied at one of the other flight schools when I finish my studies and apply for a job as a pilot in any airline, will my chances of being appointed as a pilot decrease because I did not study at ATP?
@@TakingFlightWithEthan Do graduates of ATP have an advantage over graduates of any other flight school?
@@ahmedoo2726 Yes we have airline partnerships
@@TakingFlightWithEthan What are the requirements to study in atp if i already have ppl
Congrats, how many hours did you have before to apply?
