Careers are funny sometimes. Despite conscientious planning, they sometimes turn on a dime and point a person in the most unexpected direction. Holt Lindenberger completed his professional flight training with ATP in November 2013 and wanted to reward himself for all the hard work it took to earn his commercial, instrument and CFI ratings. “The training at ATP was pretty fast-paced,” he remembers and the competitive qualifications earned during the program open up countless career options as a pilot.
