Are you losing ~$500,000 from career earnings if it takes you 2 years to build your 1500 hours?
Options:
- Fly 135 or CFI and wait two years and hope airlines are still hiring
- Pay $70,000 over 10 years and have XC 1500 hrs in 4 months from today
You might not have two years at the top if you spend 70k to go fly around. You might have 70k debt and a busted 121/ATP ride though. Go get a CFI, go fly 135 PIC from 1200-1500hrs and then go 121. Focus on today and getting that passed
