Default Ari Ben vs Skymate vs Eaglejet

Well, Ari-Ben and Skymates both charge around $8,000 - $10,000 for 100 hours of multi PIC. That's not bad as it comes up to around $90/hr on a twin. 1800 All ATPS charges about $25,000 for 100 hours of multi, 50 hours in a glass equipped single, and then a few hours in a CRJ level 4.

But the thing is, you then get Eaglejet which charges at around $25,000 and you get 500 hours on like a B1900D. I suspect all these 500 hours are only SIC and no PIC time?

Now if you already have a type rating, Eaglejet charges $25,000 - $30,000 to get like 300 hours on a Boeing or Airbus.

Which is the best way to go?

Wow 9 days?! That's like 11 hrs/day. You must be doing some super long trips. They allow you to take the plane away and stay overnight?

if you want to fly to hawaii, your gonna have to coordinate an airborne refueling operation. Thats always fun. Call 1-800-ABCDEFG for more details (it worked for me).
