Jim,
I wanted to let you know that I completed my airline training at Air Wisconsin successfully, this past Friday! OE 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.
