Yeah, it a pretty penny, but the training is top notch. I'm a non loan person and paying for everything myself. Luckily I have my VA benefits to help out. I was "estimated" roughly $40,000 and I already had my PVT. The only reason people get the 80,000 loan is because they disburse you money from your loan to live on.
Comair will not interview or hire someone under 1000 hrs. They lower their minimums for academy grads. When you're done instructing You will have over 1,200 hrs TT. Luckily for me I had a good number of hours already before going here, so I'll have some extra padding when I finish.
