PS: My resume doesn't state every flight school I've flown at. By the time you get your relevent aircraft times, education, and work experience you'll find yourself rating things in levels of importance to figure out how to keep things on one page.

Pinnacle, TSA, and ASA I know for sure. These airlines are hiring guys from the Capt. Program at Embry-Riddle. I work with some of the Capt guys and they seem to know what they are doing and seem to be good pilots. The only downside to programs like Capt is the lack of real world pilot in command time. I don’t care what anyone says, real world experience kicks the a$$ out of having a type rating at 200-250 hours.

Look into Falcon Flight at Sanford, they've got nice planes, lots of instructors, and their rates are better than epic. Falcon can get you finished with all your ratings in a hurry if you wanna finish up.

Falcon is a bit scary. I've rented from there pleanty of times. Make sure you do a good preflight and check all their inspections. I've found issues there and when I brought them up (ie things placarded that are required by the type cert.) they really looked down on me.

ATP can get you done and you won't have to worry about mx or being looked down upon for having integrity.

Nope, but friend of mine did. He went to FlightSafety for CFI ground and did all the flying at ATP, it worked out pretty well for him. IMO It takes a lot more time to fully comprehend the material and pass it on to your students.
