Welcome to the world of the FBO CFI...Its part of their scam along with the 'our average student has completed in xx hours'
Its all a big scam for those people.
ATP won't let you take their PPL unless you agree to the rest of the program.
You may want to look at PAS if you want to avoind the evasive answers at your local FBO. In the few conversation I've had with Herb - he doesn't BS. He puts it all on the table and is very open / honest about himself and his business.
