Opportunity Cost

Opportunity Cost is the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen.

​

What does this mean? Let's take a look at your earnings potential (not salary) over a 20 Year timeframe. I will compare the traditional Part 141 School with Training then Instructing vs. AV8R Unlimited Flight Training then Time Building.

 

The overall earnings gained using AV8R UNLIMITED is over...

$ 700,000.00

​

That number only gets bigger through a 40 year career in the airlines! Invest in yourself with AV8R UNLIMITED!
