I agree with most of the above posts;
but here is how I think about the money that I'm thinking to invest on this TR.

I have just enough hours to meet the part. 135 vfr req.(500hrs)

I do not have a CFI so in order for me to get one I will have still to pay (eventually abou 10,000$ if I'm looking to go through CFI CFII MEI),
with a few thousand dollar more I will get jets hour, part 135 experience and do what I love to do... Flying.
I'm current a server, I'm being look for a job for about 8 months and saving money. I Got an offer from Great Lakes that I couldn't accept due to the ridiculous low pay.
This will be an investment that can help me reach the ATP requirements and eventually go in a regional and start my Airline career.

I appreciate all of you tips and suggestion. I am an open mind person and I'm trying to think about my situation with different views.
Sorry for the misspelling of the a/c my keyboard is on Italian language setting, it didn't like the word "Westwind"
