Hello everybody,

I've been lurking on this board for about a month now checking things out. Waiting for my return to the states so I can start training. I'm in Iraq at the moment.

I've been doing a lot of research on flight schools to get me started on my career with the airlines. I've narrowed it down to a few schools now. One being ATP, the others Falcon, and Ari Ben. I really like ATP, but I have the GI Bill which I'm trying to use, so I'm pretty sure I will attend Falcon Aviation because I live in the Atlanta area and I can use the VA to pay for a large portion of it.

So, my plans are to do my private in October when I come home for vacation for about 5 weeks. Then come back here study the books and get ready for when I come home for good in January. So I would pick up with the rest of the program in February. I'd just like to utilize the time that I have to get things done. What do you guys think? Is it doable to finish the PPL in about 4-5 weeks. Or would it be better to wait until February to start everything?
