Wow...thanks CubGrad...really appreciate you taking the time to write that up. Were I to decide MAPD was the right path for me, I'd probably do a hybrid approach, and continue through commercial, MEL at the local FBO where I have been training currently through 1H of next year, then looking at their PACE 19 week jet systems, etc. program. I have the luxury (and believe me, I do know it's a luxury) of being able to fly when I want right now, so building hours and experience (however miniscule it may be) isn't as much a financial chore as it will be when I have little or no disposable income. Best of luck to you!
