Default Cheapest but Reputable Part 141 Schools

Hello,

I would like to know some of the cheapest but reputable part 141 schools in Florida and Georgia for zero-cpl.

From my research I found:
Florida Flyers Academy
Flying Academy Miami
Pilot Training Center Homestead

Keep in mind that a lot of school quote the FAA minimums which are almost impossible to achieve. For example, Florida Flyers Academy's price seems to be based on 25 hours of dual and 10 hours of solo (FAA Part 141 mins) for private pilot. Although technically possible, I've never seen anyone do it at mins and I work at a school with 100+ domestic students plus hundreds of internationals.

Nationwide averages are something like 50-55 hours for private and a dedicated person can do it like 45 hours (including check ride).

Cheap and Good are an almost impossible combination in aviation.

I ended up finishing my private in 80 hours at ATP.... granted most were to satisfy other requirements for commercial instrument etc.....

Why 141? it is almost not worth the extra 3 years of seniority loss and time building when you could be flying after 9 months at ATP or an accelerated program.
