Is ATP a PFT/PFJ??

They also claim 98% placement with regionals like Air Canada, Wisconson, Comair, Mesa, Skywest, Pinnacle etc.....

Air Canada is not a regional, it is a major. It also does not, as stated above, hire foreign citizens. So if RAA was claiming; 1. that it was a regional, 2. that they can get you a job there, they are hugely full of s_hit. Those seem to be pretty huge red flags stating stay away.

The only game in town here has 2 C-172's and they get $85 an hour for em. Then the CFI is another $35. Even Block time of 10hrs or more is $78.

$78 is actually pretty cheap. HMR is right, small FBOs are the way to go. The planes are usually always sitting on the ramp, ready to go. Drop in, grab a key, and off you go.

That's a lot of CFI's maxed out and a LOT of planes sent to 100hr inspections in a SHORT amount of time...

not to mention I don't think many of us would feel safe to be flying with a 90-day pilot on board...or maybe that's just me.

Like HMR said -- don't pay $70k for all your ratings...go somewhere they actually care about their students' performance, learn the right way and allow your brain some time to soak it all up!
