Anyone saying that "not paying back a loan speaks volumes about your charecter" is very blind in today's world. Especially when we are talking about regional pilots. No $h1t, we know what we are signing... That "extra job at Burger King?" Oh like the extra job the FO was working prior to the 3407 Bufalo crash... Yeah, the same one that sparked the fight for the 1500 hour rule. How can you judge someone's charecter based off of this when you do not even know them? If anything, someone that works their a$$ off flying and fighting to pay back a student loan, while making only $24k a year (and knowing they could make more at a local job) is definitely worth taking a look at. It shows your commitment and passion for flying. Either way you look at it, your credit report does not determine your charecter, but rather the way you judge people you don't even know.
