My questions is:
-On average what have you guys seen the ratings cost MEL/COM/CFI etc...

The reason that I ask is that with me being late in the game getting everything done, I am wondering how much more going to someplace like ATP to do the 90 day thing would be rather than continuing at my FBO. If it is only 10-20K more, it may be worth it for someone like me starting late. Plus being a late starter, ATP would help get me into a regional sooner so that I could move on sooner.
