On the other hand, I understand that ATP instructors stay pretty busy. If you train with them, I suspect you'll be offered a job with them. If you want to build time fast (and lots of multi time), you might consider ATP for both training and flight instructing.

Not to say that you can't fly a lot by working for your local FBO. Motivation and a posative attitude will help you build a regular client base. Training at a local FBO will probably cost a bit less.

If you're considering a temporary relocation for the right school, I would also suggest you take a look at Skymates in the Dallas area.

Although your choice of words is a little distasteful, I have no rebuttal.
