I was wondering how i would go about going into the program already working with an airline prior to starting schooling so its a little cheaper Any advice or suggestions?
Welcome, Bradley,
I’m not sure I follow?
The cost of the program is listed on ATP’s website. There are two prices. One starting from zero. One starting with a Private Pilot License.
Working for an airline will not reduce the cost of the program.
ATP does have agreements with many airlines though, which offer tuition reimbursement.

Bradley,
Like Tory mentioned, there is only two costs, credit private and “zero-to-hero.”
There is already a ton of answers based on tuition reimbursement and cadet programs through the forum. On the ATP website, they have a breakdown of how most of the programs work, I highly encourage to browse Airline Sponsored Pilot Training / ATP Flight School.

Bradley,
You become eligible for tuition reimbursement only after you have completed the program, successfully secured a CFI position with ATP and get accepted in to a regionals cadet program. Unfortunately starting out you have to front the cost out of pocket or with a loan. It’s a risk but most things worth having are a little risky.

Your absolutley right hannah. Its worth every penny. I honestly knew nothing about a tuition reimbursement until my wife looked for hours on atp and randomly came across it.
Hello, I hope you are well. I just applied for a student loan in Sallie Mae, and they said the requirement add the co-signer. Do you have an experiment or the other loan without the co-signer? I am a permanent resident; however, I have lived in the U.S. for four years. My purpose is to take a Commercial pilot license.
Mahdi,
Unfortunately these are unsecured loans and therfore require either a very strong credit history or a co-signer. In all likelihood took either need to find a co-signer or wait till you’re credit is stronger.

Mahdi,
I’ve got first hand experience with this. I first tried to get the Sallie Mae loan without a co-signer (I didn’t have one) my credit was not strong enough. If you don’t have a co signer, you will need near perfect credit to get the loan. I had to continue to build my credit a bit, and I eventually found a co signer to back me up. Your residency status shouldn’t be a factor in your application.

Mahdi,
It’s not unusual. Actually, the vast majority of people require a co-signer.

Mahdi,
Call Kirk at ATP. He might have some strategies for you to apply. 904-595-7950.

I will do that thanks for your response.
Thanks
Best
Mahdi
