Default Quick ATP Rating

Anyone know a good QUALITY school to go and get an ATP rating. I heard all ATP offers a few courses but their scheduling takes forever. I am already flying for a 121 carrier and the upgrade is about 3-4 years right now. Florida is preferred but I will travel wherever in the U.S. to get this done.
Thanks

Well, do you want a quality school or a quick school to get the ATP? If you want the quickest, easiest way to do it, go to Sheble Aviation in Kingman, AZ. It's about $2000 and you'll finish in 2 days. As long as you can hand fly an approach, it a cake walk; the easiest checkride I've ever taken. They give you a packet about 5 pages long to study and all questions in the oral are directly from that. My oral was only 4 questions while I was flying with the examiner.
The only problem is the airplanes are junk and the flight school isn't any better. Plan on about 1.5 to 2 hours in the air and you might have to fly to Las Vegas to do an ILS (about 30 minutes away).

Pretty good setup. Only $2700, which includes lodging. Located halfway between Columbus and Starkville MS at Golden Traingle Airport.

I'm still kicking around the idea of going to Sheble for my CFI ratings. Do you know anything about the quality of this end of their business? I'm from the east coast so the travel to Arizona comes into the eqation for me, but a more important factor is the time to get the ratings as I'm still working full time in my non-aviation job until I get a flying job and need to go while using vacation time.

Thumbs up Multi-Engine Training

I used Action Multi-Ratings (Groton, CT) for both my multi-engine commercial instrument and multi-engine instructor certificates. And I plan to use them for my ATP. They use a Seneca I and training typically lasts 3 days. When you schedule your training dates and pay the $175 deposit they will send you the study materials, which includes a (open book) pre-training written test. They expect you to arrive prepared, so make sure to study and complete the pre-training written test prior to arriving.
