RJ Programs Testimonials
“I recently returned from Jacksonville having successfully completed ATP’s Regional Jet Certification Standards course! From start to finish, I was blown away with the level of instruction I received as well as the quality of the simulator training. It definitely felt like I was a working First Officer for a regional airline!”
“The instructors did a phenomenal job of helping us develop good habits with the profile flows and callouts, giving me much-needed confidence as I head into my first airline ground school. The skills I’ve learned here — how to handle an in-flight engine fire, programming the FMS, working as a crew in a fast-paced flying environment — are all things that will bolster my chances for success at the next level.”

“I am writing this email after my second day of IOE and about 8 hours of Dash 8 flying. What a blast. In one day I’ve seen several busy airports and and I wanted you to know that the preparation I was given by ATP and you personally has really helped me along. ”
“I can’t stress enough the value of the RJ Course. Even though I’m flying a turboprop, the same sort of principles apply that are taught, and I think I am ahead of the game at this stage thanks to ATP. ”
“CommutAir is expanding, and I expect to see a lot more hiring coming in the next few months. Were also in the process of acquiring several Q300s which will also require more hiring.”
“CommutAir is and will continue to be a great place to work. My experience so far has been fantastic. ”

“I wanted to let you know that I completed my airline training at Air Wisconsin successfully, this past Friday! IOE starts Tuesday and I am very excited.”
“Taking the RJ course helped me tremendously with Sim training. Sim training was still of course very challenging, but if I had not taken the jet course, my stress levels would’ve been much higher. Simple things like knowing how to work the autopilot, being familiar with the FMS and the cockpit surroundings worked to my advantage. One specific compliment that I received from one of my instructors was that my partner and I worked very well together as a crew. I thank ATP for giving me those skills during the Career Program and Jet Course. Also, the preparation that I had to do before the jet course such as memorizing profiles and flows, made mastering flows at Air Wisconsin much simpler. I continue to tell anyone I know that’s looking to go to an airline to consider this course because of how much I feel it helped me.”
“I also want to tell you how valuable I think Paul Templeton is to ATP. Any time prior to the jet course if I was having issues or needed help, he was just a phone call away and always willing to help. During the course he was probably the most patient and friendly instructor I have ever dealt with in my entire aviation career. You can tell he wants you to succeed both in the course and after you complete it. After the jet course he was able to help me get a speedy interview at a regional.”
