wow, I didn't mean for this thread to turn into an argument. So now I'm onto working on my commercial ticket. I'm not pushing on CFI for now, I'm always looking for recommendations on how to build the hours at the lowest cost possible. Anyone out here in Hawaii that may have advice or is able to help? Thanks in advance as always!

We used to have a Captain that commuted from Hawaii. Let me check and see if he is still here. I will PM his name to you.
So, you will have Commercial, Instrument, Multi..... two ways to build time after that without costing you a fortune: instructor or commercial flying. Check out Moukelele Airlines. They have CASS privileges and don’t require an ATP.
