That's true. But it would give the system time to resolve the issues.

Currently, as I understand it, financial aid is only available for the academic portion of flight training, not the flying lessons. The GI bill pays for it all.

That's why the govt. would back the loans. But also, look at the amt. of sub-prime loans given during the housing boom and now in autos. The banks believe they will be bailed out, and since they own the politicians, they will.

Subprime auto loan delinquencies hit six-year high
