Would it really be worth getting your CFI for just a couple hundred hours to get your 500 for Boutique?
I have talked to other people that have had this same thought, and two who did just what you're saying.... and Boutique, Cape, Mokulele, STAR, Southern, Tropic and TradeWind all NEVER called. They they had to get their CFI...
