 Re: ME Hours? How many really....

Including yours...
MDT, I'm not a fan of going through all those ratings in 90 days. It doesn't give you time for things to sink in. And then you go right into teaching some other poor guy who is just three months behind you. ATP does it. People get through. But I see it as a min standard pilot mill and wouldn't recommend it. Nothing wrong with ATP as a school, it's the 90 day thing I don't like and I'd say the same thing about any other school that is pushing it that fast. I'm also not a fan of RJ courses as a substitute for real life flight experience just to get hired on at min time. Nor, am I a fan a being forced to pay for the Citation ride that's pretty useless.
If you've compared it with your local FBO and the costs are comparable, either you are in a high cost area or you are factoring a lot of multi time. You might want to look at just going through CFI at the FBO with just enough multi time to get a 135 job. You could instruct for nine months, get a 135 freight job, and build your multi time that way. Amflight is only 50 hours multi and there are some with less than that.
Anyhow, good luck with whatever you decide and let us know how it goes.
