Well seeing as how the school I contacted only had a single aircraft (single engine) I'm sort of not suprised it was the answer I also received. Seems like a no-brainer to go straight into Commercial AMEL and then work at building time renting whatever single engine aircraft I can. I'm going to assume you wouldn't recommend Trident then? I've been calling around the area this week trying to get an idea of rental prices and it seems most are around $160/hr wet.
Yes you can transition directly to commercial AMEL and skip a bunch maneuvers which you don't need for the airlines. The ACS is very clear on that, and it is definitive.
Yes you can build time in an ASEL using your PPL privileges.
