I don't want this to be a war, but I agree with LAFF and this is why.

I have been doing my homework and research and would love to fly. I have a pilot at work that is going to help me with ground school, so I don't have to pay for it. When I talked to the local CFI at the school I told him I was willing to do 2-3 hours a day 5 days a week. He said that was aggressive and if I was to commit to that I should have my PPL in 6 months. Well, if you do the math it doesn't add up. Considering that the national average is 71 hours 2hrsx5=10 hours a week 40 hrs a month so 6 months would equal 240 hrs? I have one more local school to check out and if that doesn't pan out I will go to ATP.
I really appreciate the time you guys are taking in posting a reply. This is a very important decision I have to make for a job that I believe to be rewarding.
Thanks again
Orlando
