Agreed. I got my initial multi rating at ATP when I didn't know if I would go into flying as a career or not (140 hours at the time). That took 9 hours and $2,000 (including the checkride). Then, after I was a CFI where I am now I starting renting our Seneca with a friend and split some time (he was an MEI so I actually logged it as dual but still PIC). I got about 10 hours out of that. The last 20 or so were spent getting up to speed for my commercial multi add on and the MEI ride.

So, after 41 hours I probably spent around $8,000. We will see how quickly the next 41 comes giving dual.

I also don't want to fast track to the regionals--I would like to do a little charter where I am and flying their airplane for the last 30 hours doesn't hurt.
