Go to ATP and drop 66k on the fast track. It takes 9 months from 0 time to MEI. Let's add 25k, (and I think that's excessive) for housing, food, examiner fees, misc. items, etc. so I'm at 91 k all in. 59k savings right off the bat.

I'm at a busy location, so I get 100 hours a month instructing. So after 21 months I've got 1500 hours and go to a regional.

3 months for Indoc and training has me at 24 months. At 75 hours a month, in 14 months I have another 1000 hours. Now I'm at 2500 hours at 38 months time.

I can now get hired at JetBlue off the street 10 months earlier, and 59k richer. That doesn't even count the extra 80-100k I made in salary for instructing and being a regional FO.
