ATP Flight School has shortened its Airline Career Pilot Program timeline by 25 percent.

I question whether this is a good thing. Even if you were as capable of pilot with 25% less training time, aren't most of those seeking to be professional pilots aiming for the 1500-hour mark?

Agreed, more shortcuts has a dubious ring to it.
Note, This from the text:
"Graduates then build flight time as instructors before becoming eligible to pursue an airline transport pilot certificate and eventually qualify for airline jobs."
I don't believe that part is included in the 25% reduction, at least that's how I read it.
