Hello everyone!

I feel as though I am in a difficult situation and would like to get others opinions or advice. I live in New England and currently in the midst of my PPL training with 55~ hours in a Cessna 162 Skycatcher. Once I complete my solo requirements, I will be eligible to schedule my checkride. The problem is that the 162 is most likely going to be taken off the line due to maintenance issues, so I would have to complete the rest of my requirements in another plane. Those being the 150, or 172. Switching from digital displays to analog displays is going to take time to get used to, requiring additional flight lessons, more money to become familiar. I'd like to mention being in New England has caused many of my lessons to be canceled recently. I went almost 4 months without flying the 162 Skycatcher. During my time flying, I have applied to numerous airline cadet programs with the intent of flying commercially… the most excited being United's Aviate Academy. I do have an upcoming behavioral interview with the academy next month, which I will either receive a conditional acceptance offer or deemed not a fit. With some of these cadet programs you won't be eligible if you obtain your PPL while others require you have that to start, while some also require an instrument rating. I would like to complete my flight training fast as possible; I have researched ATP, but the vast majority of reviews being negative makes me want to steer away. In my situation, I know I will have to finance my training because I am not financially able to pay out of pocket for the rest of training for the timeframe I'd like to finish my training in.

I'd like to know other's perspective on my situation and what they think I should do. I am going to sit down with my flight school's manager next weekend to discuss my situation and options.

Thank you to anyone that took the time to read this!
