I know it’s tempting but you’re going down the wrong rabbit hole here.
Join the military, do your 4 years then use the VA bill for your flight training.
You’ll be 32 and debt free when you hit the street.
Or you’ll be flying for a Regional with a $80k debt remaining you can’t pay off.
Can’t buy a decent car or a house either.
Can't argue this. The less debt you have the better off you will be. I was 33 when I started flight training. Used my GI Bill... Came out of pocket 5k for training 0 to MEI... My only decision now is if I stick out the last 3 years to get my 20 or just to the regionals.
