Sounds phenomenal. Not only will you be required to be babysat the entire time by, literally, a backseat driver, but you have to pay for all of their expenses when out of town. Well, backseat until conditions might be scary, then you get to pay to sit in the back seat, and then you have to dry hump your fellow pilots while getting back into the front seat in the roomyness that is an Apache.

I can see it now:

"Engine failure! Ok ok, mixture props throttl" "NO! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!! TIME FOR A TIME OUT IN THE BACK SEAT!!!"

Ick. Go where you want, and pay what you want, I will leave you with this little bit of advice. While almost all of the flight schools are over priced, ATP, in my opinion, has one of the less over priced plans, simply because they give you so much multi time. I never did it so I can't attest to the quality of their training beyond that the people who I've flown with from ATP seem to at least have a basic level of competence, which is not something that can be said about everybody.
