I posted this video for those who are considering going into debt for an aviation degree.

$200,000.00 seems like a little excessive estimate to get all your ratings. I do agree with the principle though, a six figure investment followed by many years of poverty pay is silly.

I think the $200,000 is for 4 years of college at $50,000/year.

Huh?


...Most pilots would fly for free...
I don't think Dave does get it. How many of you would put up with the BS that is the aviation industry for free? Not me!

I do agree that anyone that assumes a 6 figure debt for a job that pays peanuts at the regionals is stupid. Parents who co-sign the loans, equally stupid.

Did you listen to the video (audio)? According to your comments, you agree with Dave's opinion.
