who knows in about 4 years when you actually get finished at the local FBO and, have instructed for a litle time building. at ATP you get it done, you're in and out. You get your job and start makin money.
I fooled around with the local FBO/141 university for my private. A year and a half later, got my license. I'm making a career out of aviation... not my flight training. went to atp with my ppl in may. I got my CFII checkride tomorrow. passed the oral today.
If you want to learn how to fly for fun... stick with your local FBO.
