Getting your ratings quick, that's it. For some people, time is of the essence. I'm not saying it's a bad program, and neither did they. You can get a commercial certificate with 250 hours (less if you do it part 141), but there aren't too many operations out there that will hire with kind of time. You can get an instrument rating fast, but how many out there are comfortable going single pilot in IMC with only a hundred hours and maybe 5 in actual?

I was just stating what a couple of friends who went throught the 10 day program expressed. You go through the motions required to get your CFI. The cost of doing it fast is not having as much preparation when you begin instructing. The cost of going more a 'traditional' route is that it will take you more time.
