Garrett,
Correct. How can they? The economy tanked. If they gave everyone a job there wouldn’t be enough flying to go around for everyone. They are still hiring CFIs. It’s just more competitive now.
Not true unless something changed overnight? Where’d you see that? Ground school has always been provided. You can’t become a pilot without it. The format has evolved overtime. It has always relied heavily on self-study modules. King Schools training videos are now central to ATP’s ground school curriculum. Instructors are also expected and required to conduct ground school with their students as well.
This is true. Again, this is a reflection of the current times.
Correct, but Instructors are still being paid for ground. How much does a Flight Instructor earn?
ATP is unable to reduce the cost of the program. But what they have been able to do is offer the ATP-CTP course at no additional cost ($3,795 value) https://atpflightschool.com/airline-career-pilot-program/atp-certification-training-program.html. You will also start to see ATP offer individual ratings. So soon students will have more options.
