hope this isnt too late but if it is maybe it will help others.
for DCA your timeframe is off. it is not a 16 to 24 month program. it definately takes 12 months just as a student. ive not met anyone whos beaten that significantly. there are stories of "this guy that finished in 7 months" but no one can tell me his name not even the admissions rep that told me the story. im at 7 months and in the middle of commercial single and right in the middle of the 20 other guys that started 0 time with me. we are all within a few weeks of each other. as for instructors their speed varies. the standz break is apparently gone right now and ive seen one guy who got to an airline in about nine months but he had a 4 month standz break during which he got 200 hours off of his 800 hour contract with delta. 800 dual given is the standard contract unless you want to pay 10000+ for your own bridge program then its 400 and as for building time as an instructor my instrument instructor had been there 8 months and had 120 hours, his friend at 8 months had 80, so you should figure on a minimum of 12 months of instructing which makes the program minimum 24 months and several instructors that i know are on food stamps.
