Yes, that time is low, but it is what it is and I earned my CMEL in 6hrs.

I'm going to 121 in the winter when I hit 1500, but with the moving expenses, loans and other financial obligations , I'm very hard pressed to come up with another 2k-4.5k to buy that time.

RAH is offering to cover the time, and deduct it from the signing bonus. It's a great idea and may be the factor that pushes me over the line. I'm wondering if you guys have ever heard of any other regional outfits willing to work with a recruit to finance that time. I'd really rather go to PDT or 9E; Like I said I have the rating. Is it worth a shot to negotiate with the recruiters you think ?
