Brian,
Upon completion of ATP’s ACPP, given you are in good standing and have received an offer to instruct at one of the many locations. You are able to select three choices, ultimately having the option to select, “first available,” if you’re open-minded.
I was fortunate to stay at my location (TTN), I did wait a few months but was fortunate. A few others had to start at another location and then put a transfer request in when the opportunity became available, but for some, it’s worth it. When your goal is to build flight time and get to the airlines, sometimes sacrificing is the name of the game. I was 3.5 hours away from family, rarely went home, but when I did, I made sure to make it worth every second.
There are other job opportunities available out and about; however, that will come with networking and finding that job. There is a list of jobs I’ve posted on another page, let me copy quote them here:
