I would like to get my instructor licenses. Not quite sure which school to go with. I am looking to get at least the CFI, CFII and/or possibly MEI. Is the MEI necessary to help out with my resume for future aviation jobs? I do plan on working as an instructor for a few months. I currently have 500TT/350ME. My goal is to get into the regionals and ultimately, the majors. I am edging towards the 30 year old mark so I would like to not waste more time. I haven't flown in 3 years so that in itself proves a challenge to get back on the horse.

AF has a 3k CFI,CFII program.
ATP has a CFI,CFII, MEI for 6.5k

I understand the tuition will balloon up to 15-20% but which training facility will give me the best value? Best quality of training? And instructor jobs afterwards?

I would definitely appreciate any current/previous experiences with these two schools.
