Is this something that one could see to be manageable given the current market situation with a pilot career. My only other expenses are a $180 car note and $180 insurance payment. If I were to focus the beginning of my career into fully repaying the loan asap? I would get a 6month grace period after my 9 month training and a guaranteed flight instructor job at ATP and seems like (if there are no issues with my training/health) a guaranteed job at a regional once I reach my 1500 hours. ATP also supposedly offers a $11000 tuition reimbursement as well. Im 20 and get my AA in May as well and would like to start my training in May/June.
