Plus FUEL SURCHARGES

THE REAL COST OF TRAINING = 72187.5 (WITHOUT FUEL SURCHARGES)
PLUS FOR HOUSING ANOTHER 8000= 80187.5 DOLLARS
AND THEY SAY TAKE THE LOAN OUT FOR 20% MORE.

THEN THE REAL TOTAL WITH FOOD AND OTHER NECCESARIES IS AROUND 100,000 DOLLARS.

WHO WANTS TO GO THERE?

Would love to hear from Planediveguy on this one......He's a good guy from what little communication I've had with him but I think he would have a tough time defending his organization on this one.

Upset Recovery Course - a voucher for therapy to help you deal with the anger from being so upset that you spent $70,000 too much.

He is a good guy, but to the best of my knowledge he's no longer at DCA.

SFB DCA is EXPENSIVE

go to one of the universities instead

priv 6K
inst 7K
cmel: 15K
CFI/CFII: like 9

its alot more reasonable that way

oh, and they pay the MEI too, not sure why its on there.
