Cheapest but Reputable Part 141 Schools

Hello,

I would like to know some of the cheapest but reputable part 141 schools in Florida and Georgia for zero-cpl.

From my research I found:
Florida Flyers Academy
Flying Academy Miami
Pilot Training Center Homestead

Although technically possible, I've never seen anyone do it at mins and I work at a school with 100+ domestic students plus hundreds of internationals.

Nationwide averages are something like 50-55 hours for private and a dedicated person can do it like 45 hours (including check ride).

Cheap and Good are an almost impossible combination in aviation.

I ended up finishing my private in 80 hours at ATP.... granted most were to satisfy other requirements for commercial instrument etc.....

Why 141? it is almost not worth the extra 3 years of seniority loss and time building when you could be flying after 9 months at ATP or an accelerated program.
