BBar, a high school buddy of mine bought an old Luscombe with his younger brother, for about $4K (1977 dollars) and flew it enough to for the two of them to get their PPL's.
They were both very mechanically inclined, they fixed it up very nice, sold it several years later for $8K! Twice what they paid for it!
Given the high cost of flying lessons in C172's today, yes, in a NY Minute I'd buy a little old Cherokee and use that instead of renting for $150/hr.!

Holy crap. An out of base green slip with conflict! I have never been optimistic enough to ever put in for one.

This only happens when I have other stuff to do, or when I'm on vacation!

My training, at least start to Commercial was done at a local flight school and AFB Aero Club when I was in high school and then I taught at an awesome college with the best damn students ever.
I saw both sides personally. The local FBO type is good for a lot of things but for time building as a CFI can be hit or miss. My school was a huge hit for a few years then a big miss then it was out of business.
The large University is slow for students but great as a CFI.
The other way to do it is what I saw with a buddy, he did college and had a good time, did a hard major, co-op at Delta, then All ATP and went basically five years from starting instrument rating at ATP to Delta.
And you can blame him for getting me hired. I met great people at both places, most oddly enough are at UcAL.
To each his own, however, at $175 for a 172 and 60-80 for dual, I don't see how anyone can afford it. Buying an airplane is i guess one way.
Maybe they ought to do fractional flight schools, buy your share in an airplane whose value won't go down and sell your share when you're done.
