Do understand that there are more crooks in aviation then probably any other field outside of attorneys. Most flight schools are interested in only your money. Ask the hard questions. Get everything in writing. Don't believe that someone has a "fast track" that no one else has. If it looks too good to be true then it probably is. Borrow as little money as possible. It's hell making payments when you live below the poverty line.
Good luck and fly safe.
First year FO at MESABA makes $30K. Thats not below the poverty level. Upgrades are about 6-12months. CA pay starts at $50K.Originally Posted by Macjet

I do agree, don't borrow too much money. Don't fast track it then blow it on a sim ride at an airline. Get some experience.
