* I want to make that 2018-2022 hiring wave and don't want to be getting any older

Not this again. Anyone that is trying to convince you to go out and get this quickly to "get on the wave" simply wants your money, that's it. They've been spouting the "wave" nonsense for decades. Don't take out loans, pay as you go, bite the bullet, tough it out. It's far more worth it in the long run and allows you to invest in things like property and funds that will benefit you far more than taking out a huge loan so you can get a CFI/regional airline job. No one knows the future.
