I will take a stab at it. If I remember it correctly when you finish the CIME program you will have around 250-260 total time with approx 50 multi. The requirements for the "direct Track" programs for ASA and American Eagle are completion of the CIME program. After that you can interview with either airline. The "Direct Track" program will be a total of 66 hours to include 36 hours in the SAAB level D....

Good Luck...ILS
 
I don't think it's that much time. 141 allows you to finish your commercial under 250 hours. I'm not positive but I think the absolute min. time is something like 175 hours?
 
damn 175 hours???? thats it?? upon completion you have a 60 thousand dollar debt with only a cfi ticket???? I know CFi's dont make enough to pay a 400 dollar a month rent along with a long list of other personal expenses...
 
I think that time is for the CIME course. Not including the CFI course. But there are extras like Frasca time, Microsoft, GAT, CRM, Spin training

As far as money- aviation and FSI are not cheap. I was more than satisfied, you get what you pay for.....

I was wondering the same thing with my roommate on past days. If you go to the syllabus, will get 160 hours. Of course, you will get a little bit more, depending on many factors
 
The minimum to get your initial commercial rating under Part 141 is 190 hours. Up to 30 of these hours can be in a FTD (Frasca), so 160 (55 multi) flight hours and 30 Frasca hours is what the FSI syllabus contains. There is also some extra stuff like the GAT and now they are adding a high altitude endorsement.

I am not sure what the ASA program or the planned American Eagle right seat direct programs contain. I know they are supposed to switch the flying from the Seneca III to the Seminole. If you have questions, you should just call FSI and ask.
