ATP offers 100,000 course so 20,000 more i want to spend?
I would strongly recommend not signing anything that would tie you to an employer, ever. 5 years is just ridiculous. Since you are starting from Zero i suggest a small local operator to see if it's for you first of all. If it is, awesome, but make sure before you take out a large sum of money and sign it over to a flight school.
Do your private local first, then look into an accelerated full time program. Also, decide on a school based on where you would like to work as an instructor, good safety record, maintenance, etc.
