Hey guys

Currently stuck in Prescott (KPRC) and looking to knock out my CFI initial before moving on to Multi.

Frankly, the schools in Prescott are charging "Riddle prices" and my wallet can't handle it anymore. I'm looking for a place that actually moves at a decent pace without the 141 corporate BS.

The Situation:

• Location: Based in PRC, but willing to grind in PHX area.
• Torrance (KTOA) Option: My aunt lives in Torrance, so I can relocate there if the schools/DPE availability are actually better (Sling? Pacific Skies? Tell me the tea).
• Background: 300ish hours, mostly C172 G1000 time. Some 6-pack and DA40 experience.
• Status: ALL 3 WRITTENS DONE (FIA, FOI, AGI). I'm ready to start flying rn.

What I need:

1. SPEED: I want to get this done ASAP. Not looking to be "just another student" in a backlog for 3 months.
2. COST: Looking for fair rates. Dry or Wet doesn't matter as long as it's transparent.
3. DPE Availability: Who’s got the hookup? I don't want to wait 6 weeks for a checkride after I'm endorsed.

Give me any ideas.
