ATP is the best for the money. You'll have the minimum multi requirement for most regionals right out of training. I'm not just saying this because I work there. It truly is better than any school I've seen or heard of. But do your own research. Talk to the students and tour the location. Check out other schools as well. But I'll bet you'll be back at ATP. One small bit of advice, DONT GO TO DCA!

that's great if you have a degree, but if not, embry riddle is the best option.

You need 2 years of college for their regular training and a 2 year degree or better for their pay for training program.

BURflyer you are half correct. They require 2 years of college or two years of work experience or equivelent. Which in the end is the discretion of the administrator.

And Embry Distance learning is $185 a credit hour. At 120 credit to graduate that comes to $22,000. Plus they GIVE you up to 36 hours for your ratings (generally 34) - $6290.

Interesting. I knew ERAU had a distance learning environment, but didn't figure it would be lower than 50k to attend.

Not that expenseive. Multi engine time is generally anywhere from $200-$280 an hour wet. You get 190 multi-engine (50 FTD) which comes out to 150 x $200 = $30k up to 150 x $280 = 42,000. That would be the price for just multi engine flight time not including instruction, simulators, room and board, and other misc. things.

The price for the ACPP is $44,995.

So people that finish ACPP have atleast 190 Multi engine and 285 hours TT.

One thing the Harvard of the Skies doesn't have is a good General Education curriculum. Save yourself some cash and do the JC thing for a few years. You won't regret paying less than 10% the price of Riddle for instruction that is above and beyond their GenEd departments.
