i see your point. maybe i didn't explan enough. it is cheaper to get a ME-COMM in one lesson, and check ride, then to get the ME rating, then (after the ASEL-COMM) get the AMEL-COMM addon.
for the last year, people have been telling me that after your first few hundred hours in single engine, airlines begin NOT to care. but they DO care about every single minute of multi time that applicants have. is this not true?
