Prairie Air Service, Inc. I've heard the prices on the site are not up to date but they are worth at least a phone call. I bet you could go PPL thru MEI there for 38K or less.
Here is part of what the recruiter emailed me:
We just received approval from the FAA under part 141 to get you your rating for Pvt/IFR/CPL/M/E in as little as 151 hrs—making the cost only $38,000—Can also reduce the time needed to get those ratings----- If you then go into the CRJ Fast Track ( 5 weeks ) that cost $7,500—for total of $45,500
I have no interest in instructing so that puts a large roadblock.
