That said, I've met good pilots form ATP as well. But they forked over 90k for what I paid 50k.
Get creative with your financing. There are loans available for part 61 flight school but require someone with good credit and income to co sign. Ask relatives, family friends, be your own advocate. If you serious about it, they will know it. You can pay your loan off in two years after hired by regionals easy.

Thank you everyone for the input. Took me awhile to get back on the forums but glad to be greeted with some good info. Currently trying to dabble in an airline sponsored academy but seriously considering a mom and pop and then going from there.
