Bcz of economic conditions leisure travel will slow.
But necessary travel will still be there albeit might try to find cheaper means in the form of buses and trains maybe.
It'll be interesting to see how Fractionals/Corporate industry is effected.

I guess it it works out for me, few more months of saving before the big change.

Westwind Flight School, also in Arizona was just purchased recently by United and they will be having a new program with them soon(or not if we enter into a zombie apocalypse).
LIFT, but I'm sure you have all the details you need. If taking out loans is the only way. This one is your best bet in my opinion. It is also the only one on the list that does not have an Arizona location.
Lufthansa just had an accident with one of their planes two weeks ago. I believe it was a mechanical error instead of pilot error, but just something to keep in mind.
Hope that helps.
