I'm not sure what flight training costs are these days but no way should anyone be paying anything close to 150K for training.
Yep. Anything I spent on learning flying was made back and then some by cleaning, waxing, fixing and selling the old slow airplanes I trained in.
Spending $150,000 and chasing girls around the beach would have been fun, but isn't necessary.
