I bet guys like you either have or would be willing to felatiate recruiters for bankrupt airlines. I bet you tripped over yourself to send your resume in as fast as you could to places like United, Delta, US Air and American. They all went bankrupt, so I bet you want nothing to do with them right?

Places like Key Bank and Sallie Mae are irresponsible at best and predatory at worst. They know the financial prospects for a would be airline pilot, yet they handed out $100,000 loans anyway. They wouldn't give those loans out if they hadn't paid off politicians to make bankrupting their loans next to impossible.

If a guy who had a GED and bagged groceries at the Piggly Wiggly walked into a bank and asked for a $100,000 loan to finance a project to build a spaceship, that bank would negligent if they gave the poor sap the money knowing he could never pay it back. Student loans have turned people into slaves. We all make financial mistakes. Individuals are being denied the ability to ease their burdens while our corporate masters have integrated bankruptcy into their business plans.
