Agreed that they are $hitty but they aren't the "quickest" option. I went to a local 141 in Denver and was able to go from my private to commercial in less than 5 months(I started with roughly 60 hrs SEL) ...the CFI & CFII on the other hand... that's taken me a while due to some scheduling conflicts. Moral of the story is that if you get plugged in with the right instructor, school, club, ect. AND you're motivated, you can complete it just as quick (if not faster) elsewhere than at ATP.
