Yea -- flying is exactly what I've ever wanted to do as well. So since I didn't have to take out a loan that makes you sick? That's how life works. I'm sorry you may have had to work harder to fund your training, but don't take that frustration out on those who haven't had as hard of a time.
Edit--
And come to think of it, after posting that.... it's interesting how those most opposed to programs like JetU seem to be the ones who had to "sweat blood" to get to the right seat while flight instructing, banner towing, etc. I hold a lot of respect for those of you who did that, and I would have done the same thing if I had to. Though I respect the path it took for some of you to get there, I get tired of the animosity directed at those who didn't walk in your footsteps. Get over it; times have changed.
