I would put the additional money into a CRJ course, we can get you one for around $4,200, including lodging. Think what you need to make yourself competitive to the airlines, multi and fast is what they are looking for. They want some way of knowing you can think at 250 knots. Lots of night and Instrument time in a twin with us is a good start. We don't send two students out joyriding around the country. You will go to Tampa, Dallas, New York or Chicago with us, with an instructor. Hope this helps.
Many flight schools only have 1-2 multi-engine aircraft and instructing in them is based on instructor seniority or other factors so unless you have a job lined up at a place like Ari-Ben or ATP or et cetera I think not getting a CSEL and CFI single is short sighted at best.
