I think the drop in enrolllment in pro pilot training can also be attributed to changes in the student loan programs. In order to attend one of the puppy mills you either pay cash, or go through Sallie Mae or Keybank. These lenders finally wised up after a couple of schools closed up shop and split with the students money. I believe schools have to be title IV approved in order for these banks to lend money, which most aren't. I think a lot of the flight schools are starting to get the title IV status but it takes time. I went through Key bank a couple of years ago. I regret it everyday..

Key bank sucks!!! Just ask me, $130,000 in the hole, for a $20,000/yr job? Wow you wonder why high school grads aren't rushing for a pilot career!?!?!?

Hey, does anyone know of any tricks to get out of repaying key loans? Considering how much they hiked up the interest rates, I would have no problem screwing them over.

i re-fied with 'loan to learn'. it is still 8% though... better than 13% i guess.
The only way to screw Key...Bankruptcy (but it screws you too)
