illinipilot, yes they pay for pretty much everything for your CFII, and MEI at the place i am at. You will be instructing private students while training for your new ratings. However, they make you sign a year contract if you want to get those ratings for free. You can break the contract for 5gs which is cost of training. Average around 100-120 hours a month (could be less if you want to go slow) and multi students in about 4 to 5 months.

At ATP you should not have a problem with a military commitment, alot of military folks come here to get their ATP certificate. the last thing that management wants is to get a bad rep in the services. also, several folks around ATP are ex-mil themselves. just my .02$

Also, you do not need ATPS to get to the regionals anymore, American Eagle, terrible example, is hiring 600/100. You could easily get on at Trans States or Mesa with bare minimum commercial multi instrument, and half a brain, without ever stepping into a big flying school.

ATP does treat military guys extremely well.
