You pay the "taxes and non-rev" charges for:

- Unlimited travel for you, wife, domestic partner (common law spouse or gay partner), and kids, 24 one way passes (origin to destination, not leg by leg) for your parents.
- No wife/domestic partner? You can designate a travel companion. In that case, unlimited for you, 24 one way passes to be shared between travel companion and parents.

An example of a non rev charge is about 10-15 bucks, cattle class, or 20-25 bucks to go first class, ATL-LGA.

There are always zed fares and ID90s too for the folks, wife and kids.

Hope the info helps!

Hey thanks for the positive feedback guys! I saw another thread talking about how people, probably refering to me, need to be greatful and take what we can get. Just thought Id throw it out there that there hasnt been a day in my life as a student, or an instructor that I havent looked forward to flying. I am greatfu! This is just probably one of the more difficult decisions I have ever made. Its amazing how much a decision like this will change someones life, sorry if my researching it first bothered you.

Papacharlie, I am puttin my stuff in with 750, and 18 multi. I have some advanced jet training though. Hopin that they will consider it. I had a friend that I used to instruct with, he applied with about 600 and 30 multi. They offered it to him if he would go do their extra sim training prior to starting with them. Not a bad deal! Free practice before the big game! lol

i would definitely try anyway. At least your total time is more than most of the guys interested. Dont pay regular rate for your multi time. Find some charter company that will let you ride in a kingair or something. Hang out at the FBO and try to just ride with someone regardless of where they are going and offer to buy them dinner or what ever. Then rent a car and drive back if you have to. I know its such a pain in the @ss to build the time, I was in that position 2 years ago and they wanted 100 hours of multi. There are lots of creative ways to build multi. Paying for it should be last resort. Definitely apply to Eagle. Hope it works out for you man!

Same kind of guy that wore a pilots uniform when he went on his solo xc during his private training. HA
