I think one thing that no one brought up yet that needs to be thought about is the medical ticket. If you pay all the money up front and two or three years from now have something as simple as high blood pressure, you can lose your ability to fly. You need to think longe term with your health as a pilot. Keep yourself healthy to protect the investment you will make in your future career. I am sorry that ATP did that to you, and believe me, I know ATP better than most, it will be for the best. ATP does a good job of teaching AIRLINE pilots. Like everyone else has posted, get your private at a local FBO. Take your time and learn some techniques from some of the old timers. I got my liscense and then flew with far more experienced pilots to learn advanced techniques that helped me do very well in ATP's career program. Go get your liscense and then fly by yourself. Thats how you learn about flying.
