Somebody needs to explain the reason for a $2000 "assessment"

And since when is a drug test a FAR requirement for an MEI addition?
So that's down to $7000.
I'd find a school where you can do your MEI on credit while you work as a CFI.
They take $600/month off the bill every month you work as a CFI.
