Doing more research I learned you can get away with not doing the the charter or multi course and be eligible now for the internship but you must take your CFI and turbine transition class..... Total cost for those two roughly 11k. Btw cubbies no full time instructors at SIU make anywhere near what a cape captain does its about $2500 before tax. Maybe a few who have no desire to leave there as an instructor but the kids who do the internship and instruct are not pulling in much at all.
