The University of Pheonix has one of those Delta A-320 Sims, just like every other school. Auburn isn't anything special.


Phoenix might not, but ATP does. You can walk in with a wet commercial certificate, a degree in basket weaving (or none at all), 1500 hours, & $4K. Then spend a week on those fancy sims and walk out with the same certificate those fancy Auburn grads have.

What don't you understand about this? First ATP has the same desk top sim I posted a photo of in the post. Those sims are pure trainers and are not motion sims or certified for actual logging of flight time (you can use it toward min requirements). The Airlines do not recognize them. Now Flight Safety is a different story.

You are FOS if you think $4k will get you anywhere qualified for a real pilots job besides sitting next to a guy who owns a twin and you are improperly logging flight time. ATP is really the biggest rip off in aviation, but it is the quick way of getting a rating.
