$26K for a Commercial ASEL is not too bad if it is a part 61 program which will provide 250 hours of flight time. That works out to $105/flight hour which is reasonable considering that many of those hours will be dual with an instructor.

If it is part 141 and based on 190 hours, it works out to $137/hour, which is getting pretty pricey...you could do a lot better at your local airport.

Remember, there is no advantage to a part 141 training program which gets you done in less flight hours...airlines and other pilot employers do not care one tiny bit about where you got your training or what type of program it was (unless it was military). They hired based on experience, ie flight hours...the more, the better.

Also be advised that with a commercial ASEL, you are not employable in the current aviation environment...you will need instructor and multi-engine ratings.
