My questions is:
-On average what have you guys seen the ratings cost MEL/COM/CFI etc...
The reason that I ask is that with me being late in the game getting everything done, I am wondering how much more going to someplace like ATP to do the 90 day thing would be rather than continuing at my FBO. If it is only 10-20K more, it may be worth it for someone like me starting late. Plus being a late starter, ATP would help get me into a regional sooner so that I could move on sooner.
I was a late starter myself. Flight instructed for a bit to build the time. If ATP will take your GI money do that. They will get you connected. If memory serves me right, you should be eligible to get a hugh chunk of our ratings beyond private covered by the gov. Get as much multi and meet as many people at netjets as you can. They'll be hiring! Even if you instruct at ATP for a bit the time would be well spent.
