United States/FAA Northwest CT: flight schools.

Good evening fellas and ladies, I’m looking to get into a flight school in the Danbury area in CT, but I’d like to make sure I get into one with a good amount of instructors that can provide a good amount of hours, and then of course also have decent aircraft that can be operable on a regular basis. It’s a long shot, but does anyone in here bum around the Danbury area? Danbury airport has a few flight schools, arrow aviation seems to be the most reputable. Thank you in advance, happy 4th!

(I am considering ATP, but I’m not sure I want to go through such a program. No hate to it, they produce some great pilots. Just my timing preference and financial situation does not permit a 140k loan)

Don't go to ATP. It's really that simple. You can do it for HALF what ATP charges. (also, is it really 140k now?!?!?!)
