Pricing

Two moments, priced separately. Buy the one you are in.

Deciding whether to leave is one problem. Walking into a type course eighteen months later and not recognizing the language is a different one. Most pilots hit them a year apart, so paying for both at once usually means paying early for something you cannot use yet.

What is in Line Ready

You speak military. The airline speaks 121.

Nothing in this course teaches airmanship, because you have that. It teaches the dialect: what replaces the checklist you memorized, why the callouts are worded the way they are, what the automation is telling you, and what changes the day your service’s book stops applying, whether that was the 3-1, NATOPS, the Dash-1 or the ATM, and Part 121 starts. The gap is not airmanship and it is not intelligence — it is vocabulary, and on day one of indoc you are in a room of pilots who have spoken it their whole careers. Having heard it once already is most of what keeps you steady. Going corporate or fractional instead? That side flies under Part 91 and 135 and has a dialect of its own: the habits here still carry, and not all of the words do. Every module listed is built. Nothing on this page is a promise.

{{ m.summary }}

Conceptual training only: no operational procedures, limits or memory items. Your airline's program covers those, and this course exists so that program is not the first time you hear the words.

Why the research is not free

Nobody else has it, because somebody had to do it.

Any forum will tell you what a Delta captain earns. None of them will tell you which districts inside commuting range of ATL have the special-education staffing your daughter needs, what the effective property tax rate is in the specific county you were looking at, or how many years in the left seat you get if you are hired at 41. That was assembled school by school and county by county, and it does not exist anywhere else.

The method is published and free, so you can check every number against its anchor and decide whether to trust it. One metro is open all the way through for the same reason. The work itself is what you are buying.

What is not sold here

No carrier pays to score better, and no carrier can
No subscription anywhere on this page
No countdown timers and no founding-member urgency

The honest case against the bundle

$49 is a thin reason to buy training you cannot use for a year. If you are still deciding, buy the decision. The credit means you lose nothing by waiting.

Decision Membership {{ memberPrice }} {{ memberTerm }}

The research under every base: the written sections, school by school, the neighbourhoods, the county property-tax tables and the weather normals — for all {{ baseCount }} crew bases, side by side. The nine scores and the quick stats stay free, here and in the explorer; this is the work underneath them.

Decision review $249 per review, any tier. $199 with the whole route.

An hour on your situation specifically, plus a written report you keep. You arrive with your numbers already run, so the hour is judgment rather than data entry: your seniority clock against the bases you are actually weighing, and a second opinion on the shortlist, including the one you ruled out. Planning estimates, not commitments.
