Thanks. Any help would be great
I can't say what air ambulance companies are looking for, but I sure would look at any wage offerings they can make before committing that kind of money to flight training. I doubt they will pay sufficient wages to even make the monthly student loan payment at the bottom of the scale. I had a $60k note when I graduated college a few years ago. On a 4 year repayment schedule I was (and am) paying over a thousand a month on it. Even at this accelerated rate of repayment I have paid almost 5 thousand in interest alone so far. I have little money left for fun after that. I would recommend FBO style training to save money rather than ATP.
