Hey all, I was accepted to ERAU for the fall and am looking at the full 6 year BS and Masters programs for professional pilot. Also looking at the price tag on the student loans. I know ERAU is expensive and thats not the point im going to,,, but if the market for pilots are that bad, as UAL SUX say, I would be looking at another school with a cheaper tuition. When looking at the idea of having a 300k debt and getting a 26k job out of school, man thats a VERY scary idea.
Any ideas on other companies and rates would be greatly appreciated.
Buy a 152/172 and do the flying on your own. You can do everything in your own plane except for the few complex hours required for the commercial and CFI. When you are done sell the plane. You'll save yourself a lot of money.
