This thread made me think of a new guy who flew some IOE with my Captain not too long ago. This F/O position was his first job out of college. ERAU to be specific. (Everything is ERAU don't ya know.) He saw a 'love the smell of jet fuel in the morning' sticker and said, "Yeah, we had those at Riddle". Ummmm...OK.
He has student loans totaling about $150K for this 19K job and he is happy as a pig in shyte. The smile is permanently affixed across his face and you have to wonder why. OH...maybe it's beacuse he hasn't gotten the first loan payment bill yet.
Can anyone elaborate on the kind of payoff and monthly payments one would have for a $150K student loan?!?!?
