Exactly what I meant sir. They are a bunch of rotor wing hacks, but thats the route they are all headed it seems.

You can’t get the multi ATP without doing an ATP-CTP course now anyway. The more reasonable path would be getting your single and multi commercial ratings now and letting the future employer put you through the ATP class when you get typed.

I suggest getting a 172. Can you still get Multi Commercial before Single, and do the whole single ride in a fixed gear plane? That was ATP's way, and it made just a ton of sense to me. == I'd get a light twin for 60k and build that multi time. You can find disposable travel airs and barons around the 40k mark easily enough and just flog em. If they're set on single, I'd only consider cutlass or arrow. If cutlass, inspect the gear saddles very closely, they're expensive to fix when they crack. i liked the little 172RG we had, way more than the other 172s.

Todd I hate to say it... t-craft will get this done cheap and quickly. You're not going to beat $73/hr. Now if you want a 172, that's another story. I'll PM you a partnership I know of for sale in an IFR 172.
