Where is a good place to get an ATP?

Yeah you can memorize the answers for the written, but that's the slacker way to do it. If you actually understand the material, then you don't have to waste time memorizing it. You'll also actually learn something, still do well on the test, and retain it afterwards.

I had a friend who went to Sheble for his multi (which it did for him in something like four hours flight time!)

Do you mind giving me this friend's name, that way I'll make sure I never share the same cockpit as this guy??

Four hours... nothing says quality training like that!

Sheble "quality" training

I agree completely. But you have to consider the situation in its overall context.

My friend needed his multi so he could upgrade to MEI at ERAU. It was a means to an end. He acknowledged fully that four hours for multi training was ridiculous. Riddle would train him for his MEI on its nickel, so he figured he would get his "real" ME training at that time.

As it turned out, Mesa picked him up after he built enough multi time. After he built the requisite turbine multi at Mesa, he got on with Airborne. So, in the end, it all worked out for him.

I personally don't think rote memorization is the "slacker" way to do this, as the above quote states. You have to keep in mind that in order to pass these written tests, the only thing that is important is choosing the correct answer to the question. Don't waste time trying to go deeper into it than what is required to match the correct answer to the question; there will be time to "learn" this information later.
For example, I have been through several groundschools on several different aircraft with several different types of airlines. When learning a big airplane, depending on the specific airline, they will give you the limitations and you have to memorize them- period. Depending on how the instructor runs the class, he/she will usually tell you not to waste your time trying to figure out what it all means. They just want you to pass the limitations test. All of this usually happens before you even go into systems.
Anyway, when you're taking written tests and preparing for you ATP checkride, your time is precious and you really don't have time to hire an instructor and have him/her "teach" you this material, as Ralgha suggests in the quote above. Good luck.

Exactly where did I say you need to hire an instructor to teach it?

Ralgha, I realize you did not physically type or say that you need to hire an instructor to teach it, that's why I used the word suggests.
Anyway, I'm not looking to argue with you, I'm only offering my advice to Navy737 in what I believe, IMHO, to be the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to knock out the ATP written/practical.
