I would also be very reluctant to lock in my wages without cost of living increases and raises for performance, even if it was Vietnam.

Another thing is, if you are talking about FAA licenses, requirement for an ATP includes at least 1500 flight hours. You would have to go somewhere and fly for a year to get it.

Another comment is, $120k for a multiengine instrument commercial license is outrageous. I paid about $35k for all my flight training from zero to CFI including ME, instrument, tailwheel, high performance, G1000, etc. Good luck.
