Thanks for any insight you can offer. Tough decisions to make. Have 2 little ones at home I still need to cloth and feed.
Thanks again for any insight....
No one can answer your question accurately. The elephant in the room is how many people that have been bypassed will be reaching their 1,000. My opinion is a lot of people will start to reach those numbers. A lot being 15 to 30 guys a month. Which if its on the low end, new guys will be upgraded. On the upper end, only bypasses will be upgraded. I personally know a lot of people who were bypassed that are within a couple hundred hours of their 1,000. So thats only a 2 to 3 months away from an upgrade. So take it for its worth, and its only my opinion.
I would think you could hold MSP within a few months. You will sit reserve longer than you would at LAX, but if you live there, then its not a big deal. As CA, I wouldn't expect to hold MSP for a long time if you don't get on the line for 3-4 months.
You get around 700 bucks during your two week home study (guys correct me if I am wrong). Once you get to class you are making your 75 hour guarantee.
Hopefully that helps a little bit
