Default Don't worry about how many hours a day you lo

I would caution folks about the program. If you need the whole thing plan on a very very long time the estimates they give are never even close. I know guys with half a year and still working instruments. If your part of shorter deal and they say 6 weeks I'd call it 10 at least. The guys that run the show are just worried about getting the next draw from Envoy. There is no tracking on your timeframe and frankly nobody cares. You'll find yourself maybe doing 1 or two flights a week with your instruct more sometimes. The time building phase goes fairly well. I think last I heard 30 plus guys just waiting for check rides .
Things to think about ....

Do this part 61 and if you shop around you can get some great rates. There's one company doing week multi classes for 6 grand . If you can wrap stuff up for 12-15 grand do it and goto any regional airline without the two year commitment and keep working your current job and caring for your family . (If your employed) if not coast makes total sense. If Coast just put better leadership in place that tracked timelines and made sure they had the resources before they start new guys, it would be great. I really don't know any guys with any super praise this program in its current state . Some say it's so/so and there just rolling with the punches, but plan on being a permanent resident of California or Texas. Dont make any plans even close to your timeframe.

The training at coast is no better just with a constant threat that you need to be this good for envoy. I have heard San Diego is your better bet? But do not think your expirience will be any different because it won't.
