So I need to waste more money and time by getting a Masters Degree in something I have no interest in? I already did that for my 4 year degree and it didn't help me be a better pilot. It only wasted time and money.
1500 hrs won't really change much seen as that used to be close to the average in the past and that was when pay for training was around.
300 hours of instrument time or IFR filing time? I'm curious what your total time was when you got 300 hours of instrument?
Why must 500 be to a full stop in the landings?
It seems that you're saying 200 hours of solo time is just as good as instructor time. Is that what you are saying?
