I would not, repeat-NOT take on a whole bunch of debt chasing a pilot shortage that has been predicted since at least 1991. I have a feeling we are moving from a period of extremely oversupplied with pilots to a period of being oversupplied or simply supplied with pilots. No shortage.

Also, we are right on the very cusp of age 65 retirements and the ATP law coming into effect. And Pinnacle is gutting employee pay/benefits, Eagle has furloughed, may furlough more, American mainline may furlough. The economy still sucks and the airlines are merging and reducing flights. The airlines are very likely to replace smaller planes with *fewer* bigger planes....net change equals fewer pilots. Sorry bro, I wish things were better, too.

EDIT: Good call Mooney, and STD Deviation...nice avatar. You're alright in my book
