If I were to minor in piloting, that would be an additional 60k, equalling to about 80k undergrad business degree plus flight ratings. Unfortunately, you have to be an aviation major to qualify for the R-Atp. I just want to make it infront of hiring wave coming so that I could be in a good position the next downturn or potentially go to the majors without upgrading for caption on the regionals. Sorry for the lengthy post. Any thoughts?
60K is not a bad price for flight training, especially since it would be built into your school program which would make scheduling easier. Assuming that includes a CFI rating, and hopefully a CFI-I.
