One question,

Why are so many people willing to spend sooo much money to get a job that pays sooo little.

I went the FBO route, I changed to part time at work flew every afternoon, and Saturdays, finished all my ratings through CMEL in eight months. I spent 1/3 of the prices at the academies. I then joined a flying club and spent about six months building to 500 total sharing time with other pilots in the club getting lots of instrument. I now have a traffic job building about 90 hrs a month and will have met 135 mins within four more months. I did all this in the same two year time frame you are talking about and I will be able to go regional or cargo and best of all NO DEBT.

my two cents
