I agree if you have a lot of flying experience then PACE is the program for you but I think I might disagree with if you have a college degree and very little time your better off with PACE.




If you dont have any flying experience why not have Mesa teach you from scratch on up. The prices arent all that bad. At least compared to here in NYC. In Farmington they charged $109 for the Bonanza and $25 for the CFI. Here in NYC they would charge you 99 for a 172 and 42 for the CFI. So for me it would be cheaper to do my training at MAPD, and I would rather do my training in a Bonanza.

If I was in your shoes I would just do the ab initio program. Since you already have the degree you wont have any college classes, you will only have GS and flying. You could definitely get a job to pay for rent and food etc... So if you go threw Pace lets say you spend 20k on ratings and 15k for Pace. Thats already 35k. It might work out to be the same price or a little more if you do the ab initio program and you would be learning the "Mesa way of flying from ground up" but who knows if thats just marketing BS
