Hello guys,
I got my licence in Dallas at the AFDTC. The course itself costs just under 3000USD + 800USD for the housing. It is worth it though - if just for the 75cent pints of beer that they sell in the bar next door to the school! Overall you would need approx 5-6000USD for everything....and those Texan women!!!
But seriously it is worth it. You spend 6 weeks in a class with guys from all over the world who work for airlines or FBO's. Its amazing how many good contacts u can make in 6 weeks. Most of the job leads that i hear come from ex-classmates!
Go for it!
