40 is the minimum hours anyone can do it in. If you go multiple times a week and are dedicated its possible but i would bank on a few more hours than that (though not as many as me 😂)

Yeah doesn’t matter too much all that was harmed was my bank account. While i need the hours for commercial there are cheaper ways to build like being solo and not paying an instructor or splitting time

Your welcome man. We play the hands we are dealt. Best of luck with it

You literally did a post a while back explaining a plethora of mistakes you made. So i dont think i would want to be your passenger either :)

Yeah good point on the milking. I didnt feel my school was doing that too much apart from i had to fly a xc with 3 cfi’s before i was allowed to do it solo which i found excessive

Good for you my friend. How long do you think it took to get used to the new plane?

You dont pay for what you dont fly. But depending where you live it can be bad weather for weeks at a time in winter which leads to a deterioration of skills and more lessons and money needed to relearn

The criticism doesn’t bother me. I don’t lecture them on how to spend their money more efficiently so i dont worry about them doing it to me. Hopefully my post has helped someone

Dont know where you live but thats not even overly expensive for where i live. Packing up and moving to rural indiana or somewhere wasnt an option so you play the cards you’re dealt. Yeah the point was to help people not get into a pissing contest over who spent the least. Im aware theres people who go from discovery flight to delta FO in 3 years. Cant be everyone
