They finished their aviation degrees in 4 years & I finished my CPL in 5 years. The difference between us? They have a degree & ATPL's completed & I don't. We're all earning the same & flying the same. I don't have a debt at all. My training cost $80k all up. A bare CPL can be done for around $50k. You don't need to get the MEA IFR & FIR as I did.

Just the perspective of another.
$50k? Where? Most schools I've spoken say roughly around $80k or more to get a basic CPL part time, i.e. no Instrument Rating
