Maybe I'm missing something, but:
$90 * 150 = $13,500
$135 * 100 = $13,500
$250 * 20 = $5,000 (multi add-on)
$45 * 100 = $4,500 (instructor)
Total: $36,500
Instructor ratings can be had for less than $10k, and if you're goal is to be a career pilot, hold off on the degree until the time is right. I hate when that $100k number is quoted in articles etc., and why does ALL of it have to be debt. Are pilots really that financially incompetent?

I don't understand how they're horrible. Should I add more CFI time? Using those numbers you could spend 100 hours each on private and instrument and still have 50 left for commercial stuff. As a 141 instructor, I don't think I ever signed off a commercial student with more than 250 hours. The extra in Part 61 is mostly instrument and commercial XC.
How do you know I'm a dude?

It's FaceBiter not FlameBaiter. Jeez, you could work in CS with comprehension skills like that.

You do know by your ignorant and unintelligent posts (this one especially) that you are making SKW look bad right? Stop talking now before you further damage the reputation of being an airline with good people. I have made fun of some pilots for not saying hi or whatever in the airports but your comments are flat out ridiculous.
Here I go again, feeding the troll. Comparing pilots with CS is so stupid. Call center reps vs. professionally trained and skilled aviators who have dedicated their lives to the profession.

Why is everyone so concerned in further damaging the reputation of a stepping stone regional?
