I got lucky as there is a SkyWest partner flight school 15 minutes from my house so no housing costs for me.
Flight school I’ll be using here is $20,013 for the whole program.
I was just browsing that school myself. Doesn’t that 20,013 only get you your ratings over 94 hrs, most of which isn’t PIC? Then you’d be on the hook yourself to complete the remaining timebuilding out of pocket? If I am reading that wrong please let me know because 20k would be an awesome deal. The cheapest I have gotten it down to in my research is about 22k at a local flying club, but that doesn’t include the MEL add on.
