I'm looking at a place like Star Bright Aviation (
Star Bright Aviation ) They have a commercial pilot program, and all three instructor ratings for about $40,000. This also includes housing, materials, checkride fees and written test fees. Like I said above, all of the time is PIC, so it seems like a great deal.
I've been living in Korea for nearly four years and am moving back to earn my ratings. I realize the industry is in the tank right now, but I plan to start next March, finish by August, and probably instruct for a year. I was hoping that with a MEI, I'd be able to build up enough multi time instructing to make myself competitive for some kind of job in about two years (That's the plan at least). I would obviously rather build multi time instructing than pay for it, but that's why I'm asking if there's really much of an advantage to paying more for an extra 50 hours of multi time.
