Accelerated training?
Any recommendations for schools who can do accelerated training for a reasonable price? Looking to do add-on for everything through Commercial, MEL, and possibly CFI/CFII.
Looking at my options and have done some training locally, but it is expensive, and our local mountain weather does hinder training quite a bit in the winter.
Really trying to decide between training locally over a longer period, flying a few days a week, or knocking it all out in a few months so I can get a job by summer.

Looking around the nation, the pricing seems to be all over the board. I'm not looking to cut corners, but if I could pay a little less for flying, I could afford room and board and fly my butt off for a few months and really knock out some ratings.
My other consideration is that the local school offers mountain and high altitude training, which could be good on a resume, especially as I would like to fly in AK for a summer or two to build time.
I already spent a ton of money getting my helicopter ratings a while back too so I'm just trying to be a little more frugal this time around.
