I had two interviews last year. I made it through all three rounds at American Eagle but wasn't selected at the end of the day. They went bankrupt anyway... I was hired at another regional last October, but the offer was rescinded two weeks ago because of HR 5900 coming next August. They said I wouldn't have enough hours. So, I'm back to square one.
If I had to pay to get my 100 multi, it would be around $13,000 to get the remaining 40hrs I need. I'm just curious if I could even get a job. That's one heck of an investment, on top of my initial training and my college education. I just want to get up and go to work. I fly when I can and update my airlinapps accordingly. Staying optimistic.
13k/40 is 325hr. Seems high.
Edit: Confirmed. Just googled 'rent piper seneca' Link 1 is 248/hr wet.
I bet you could get an older 310 or a travel air for cheaper... still going to be expensive... just saying.
