Once again, you have no idea what you are talking about. The cost comes from all the costs included it takes to get you done. Since the intial is done in Fort Lauderdale, they pay for your airfare to get there and the hotel that you will be staying at. While you are in CFI school. You get the use of an ATP furnished apartment for those 2 weeks. You have no hotel costs while at ATP. They also will pay for a rental car while you are there and reimburse any taxi service that you may use. You can't tell me any other flight school does that. ATP is the best way to get things done. I am not saying that your FBO is anything less, because I don't know about your FBO, but that is why I am not saying about your school. You really don't know anything about the career program because no one in the country can compete with that. When you are fininshed with the career program, you already have the multi mins for most regoinal airlines. The planes are keep in good condition, and if something does happen, they have plenty more. Unlike an FBO which might only have 1 multi, ATP has 70, so do the math.
