PP-ASEL-IA to airlines for $30k?

[CJones]

Let's hypothetical a scenario. Piggybacking on @SixPapaCharlie scenario..

45 y/o 700hr PP-ASEL-IA. Started Comm training many moons ago but didn't do written or complete training. Zero multi time. Assume access to fully IFR high perf single engine for minimal cost beyond direct fuel costs.

Assume something like $20-30k available to dedicate to the effort.

From the peanut gallery, what, if any, would be a feasible and practical timeline and steps to get to the point of being hirable (and at least moderately attractive) to airlines or similar pilot career?

Not much to it. Gotta get the multi comm and a CFI probably. Then its just a matter of are the regionals taking FOs or not. The few that are hiring are requiring 5 year contracts or only hiring prior 121 dec types. That could change pretty quick though. ASEL COMM multi comm and CFI. You could do that in a month of hustling. Then its just flying your own plane or CFIing till 1500 then throwing apps at the wall and seeing what comes back.
