I just got out of ATP flight school 😭 got all the certs, worked my ass off the entire year to make sure not to fail a checkride, ended up with a 80k student loan at 9% interest ! Im a flight attendant for American Airlines I guess till end of September and I’m literally just time building , so paying out of pocket to at least get to 500 hours, went to 10 different flight school and no one even called me back for a cfi interview, Thanks for thinking of ppl like me
im so afraid I’ll go broke
