1) Go to one of big part 141 schools, where I can get about 15 hours in a Seminole, get IFR current, get some stick time and take my ATP checkride...... Cost about 4 grand plus hotel and 7 days there.

or


2) Had one of the big "Simulator" schools offer me a 737 type, instrument currency, 24 hours in the simulator...etc....and my ATP checkride for about 6500 plus hotel.... big draw back is 12 days.

Fire away...


p.s. background is 2700+ hours...nearly all multi and all turbine, with 750 hours PIC turbine.
