This was the price I paied before it turned to a cirrus fleet, where an CFII ADD-On was quoted already at close to 7gs and no one in my class spent uner 9gs for it. Last time I had coffee with my buddies their they told me the cost has gone up over all. Now I am not saing it is not worth it, after all I drive an CRJ now but don't say DCA doesnt cost as much as these ppl say it does. At the end of the day, anyone who goes through the progam will pay out ATLEAST 75K Pvt-MEI (under old program) and that would be if you are a superstar.
