Default FL flight schools

I've tour Flight Safety and Aviator college this past weekend. By far Aviator is a great choice. I have two more schools to visit; Aerosim and Phenoix East. But heres the problem. With my FAFSA, some of my tuition is covered, but the rest is not. I done my reserach and found out that banks and credit union doesn't lend to Aviator and Flight safety. Hell, even sallie mae doesn't either. my question is does anyone know any lenders out there that would lend to any flight schools?

There's a reason they won't loan any money for flight training, which is they know people frequently default a those types of loans. You are in my opinion foolish to take out a ton of money for flight training when you will almost never be able to repay it.

Earn as you go. That way you will have options besides bankruptcy if you get furloughed later on and odds are you will. Life will also be almost impossible with a large bank note to pay even if you do not get laid off.

Check out pilot finance www. Pilotfinance.com they helped me get my commercial done. Check to see if your school is active with them if not the school can partner with them within a couple of days. They specialize only on part time pilots. Really good deal and not killer on the interest rates.
