I assume the cost would depend on what the prospective student has going into a training regimen. If one were getting the FAA ATP from scratch and on one's own with minim total flight time, a school like the one you cited might be one way to go.

Those coming from an extensive large airplane background and only wanting to get the ATP in an airplane they've been flying can just hook up with an outfit in KMIA to get the ticket in a sim after taking the ATP-CTP course and written exam. Many have done it that way.

I don't recall anyone offering up the price they paid doing it that way but I'm going to guess it wasn't $15K. Of course, I could always be wrong...
