the think Doug is trying to say (i hope) is do not give up on the advanced training, rather put the effort into finding a different flight school that you can work with. with your sked, i suspect you have larger blocks of time off than most (like I do grin) and have the time to get to the other school.
It may suck but driving an hour one way to get to flt school is easier when you have a job to pay for the gas.
your profile says you are in NC I have some good contacts down that way if you want to drop me a note with your details and I may be able to help you out some.
