100K? Wishful thinking. Try about 200K.

Can't believe it?

That's $48,320 per year!

Anyone that is willing is this day and age to put 48,320 a year toward tuition to become a pilot should have their had examined, or a very wealthy parent.

If I was going to spend close to $200,000 on tuition for a profession, I would become a brain surgeon, where I know I might make back my investment.

Wow. Is that what Riddle costs. Holy sheeeet!

HOLY CRAP, I Agree With Amish!

Is that a 4 year degree? $200k for a $20k/yr starter job that you'll get to "reboot" and restart every couple of years for the first decade at the same $20k?

That's insane.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

If I had parents willing to spend 200K I'd take the 200K and get it all done at some mill for 1/5 of that and spend the rest on hookers and boooze! imp:

And Pizza. Don't forget the Pizza!

 

[Colonel Savage]

It's twice per year than the freakin' grad program! How many flight hours per semester does that 11K get you?

 

[Freight Dog]

And Pizza. Don't forget the Pizza!

Eh, that's cheap. Ever eaten at CiCi's?

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Even better.... vote McCain... we know CEO's need all the help they can get with running airlines.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

If I had parents willing to spend 200K I'd take the 200K and get it all done at some mill for 1/5 of that and spend the rest on hookers and boooze! imp:

Then the choice is:
1x $200,000 hooker
or
200,000 $1 hookers

(or coffee)

CE

Ha ha, Riddle. They can't even add up their own numbers correctly.

 

[SizzleChest]

Eh, that's cheap. Ever eaten at CiCi's?

no sheeeet!!!! When you go get the brownies in the middle of the pan that aren't cooked...... it's like crack!!! you'll be hooked!!!

With absolutely no research, my input:

250 hours at $200/hr = $50,000. And 200/hr is still a freaking rip off.

How are people coming up with 200k? I did all my training for 20k. You could buy a plane, an instructor, gas and maintenance and still be 100k ahead at the end of a year.
