Answer 2

Right now, a PPL is running around $6000-7000 for instruction, ground school, written test, and checkride. Getting an ATP costs quite a bit more and takes time to build up the rating. You would attend a flight school and obtain your multi-engine commercial instrument rating. You would then be eligible to obtain an ATP after completing the required number of hours of experience.

Commercial flight school is pricey; plan on about $50,000 on up. You can get student loans to cover the tuition. Just choose wisely; a commercial helicopter school recently went out of business leaving their students holding the bag. Never agree to pay all the tuition up front. That's what happened to those students and now they are stuck with student loans up to $70K and nothing to show for it.
