I see you seem to think there is something special about ATP that we are all hip on.
Care to elaborate what ATP is "like"?

I get what you are asking. You are looking for a program that will get you through it quick - zero to hero - for less money than ATP.

There are, but they may not be as quick as ATP. You have to do a lot of research. And there are always trade-offs. For example, ATP will not be holding your hand through the process. There would be a ton of self-study involved. There is a guy on YouTube that is at ATP and describes his experience. They are pushing him through and he busted his private pilot checkride. Many of the "quick" programs are the same way. They get you the flying, you do the study. And be prepared to do it fast. Or go in with your writtens already done.

There are plenty of others, they just don't do the advertising that ATP does. examples: American Flyers, LIFT (don't do it), Epic (FL), Falcon (GA), etc, etc...

Also, from other posts I see you are in NY as am I. NY tends to be on the expensive side for flight training. I know you were asking about Richmor. All I can say is get an estimate/quote from them. Also consider a community college for two years. I know Dutchess County CC has an aviation program.

Also, there is nothing wrong with getting a nursing degree as you have spoken about, while picking up flight time and ratings along the way on the side.

I’m in the Los Angeles area and there are many mom and pop schools around this area that can do what ATP does and for less, the problem with them is securing the financing. They don’t have connections with Sallie Mae and Wells Fargo, like ATP does, which sucks since ATP is obviously crazy overpriced, plus add the time it takes to pay off the loan, and that high interest really adds up.

Do all of your writtens.. Private through FOi, find a partner to train with... Backseat and safety pilot for each other.

You're just spamming the hell out of threads with this crap, aren't you? How long before you get caught, do you suppose? How much money do you think you'll pull out of it before the site shuts down, and what are the odds you'll get caught?

I've little use for scammers like you. Your website information has been forwarded to the Phoenix FBI and the FTC. Good luck.

The website is called "Grandparents of America."

Which Part 141 school. Where? Link it. Show it. Prove it.

Apparently the TSA “vetting” requirement provides an opportunity for “agencies” to “enroll” a foreign student in a flight school, sort of like a dating service, but with more hazards.
