Their hiring policy is 'if you've got the money, you're in!'

I've had a chat with the CFI there, saying if you go through the whole "Cadet" training course you could be looking at 50 to 100 hours of ICUS in a PA-31

The employment was as a casual and hours depending on the time of year.

so in there case start to finish of training working up to CPL an ME CIR is advertised as just under $90,000 with 50 to 100 ICUS of a PA-31(apparently this increases from 50 to near 100 if you pay for the whole course)

If you were to get this would it give you a fighting chance to GA jobs in or near cities.
my line of thought being, with a previous career and skillset to fall back on casual hours are not necessarily a bad thing, could make managing a second job workable while building hours for pay instead of paying further.

No vet so need to find $90k.
