Can't declare bankruptcy...thanks to George W. for changing that law.
Actually, I do thank him for that. Pay what you borrowed.

if you were the highest time and graduated with "high honors" (LOL...cant stop lauighing at that...unless its flame) then why couldnt you get a job. it sounds like you were the shizzznit ofthe flight school and all... i dont understand how you got railroaded and oth3ers didnt....after all you werre their progidy student for cryin out loud.
Don't ask me man...I was told 250 hours was enough for the regional airlines and that if I graduated the program, they got 7 to 9 guaranteed interviews lined up ready for me. But whatever...none of that matters anymore. What's important is that the CAPT Program was a scam and all of you elites just need to accept it rather than bash my situation. I could care less what any of you guys think of what I did right or wrong or whatever. At the end of the day, I fulfilled my end of the deal...CAPT did not. It's just that simple.

Can't declare bankruptcy...thanks to George W. for changing that law. I am finding my way out...it's just a matter of time... So instead of doing something productive with my time to contribute to the glory of aviation, I now have to slave away to pay the debt. Good times...![]()
HA!!! Obama's got you paying for them right now. We all lost on that one...just make it for 3 & 1/2 more years. Now get back in that '37 and make some deadbeat some money.You owe money? You pay it back! It's called responsibility!
Thank you W. for making people stick to their agreements. And for not having me pay for some slacker! Lord knows there are already too many of those.
"dont ask me" and you had 7-9 interviews lined up you didnt go to?
you played yourslef my friend.

Amazing, seems like all the other grads had no problem finding a job but you.
Maybe you're such a D-Bag, that the people there could see right through you and felt no need to help you along.
You were probably one of those guys in class who had people at every airline and you had your hook ups regardless.

This may seem harsh, but...
Scenario 1) You took a risk. You took out globs of money, passed training, and took a gamble on historically one of the most unstable industries in the world...and you got burned. The industry tanked and CAPTs didn't deliver. Now banks want return on a contractual loan agreement that you signed. And it's George W. Bush's fault?
Now, lets look at another angle.
Scenario 2) You took a risk. You took out globs of money, passed training, and took a gamble on historically one of the most unstable industries in the world...and you land a job. You repay the loan, as agreed. For years on end, you repay this loan. Every month. You sacrifice. You deprive yourself. Still, this risk lives with you month after month, repayment check after repayment check. This risk, gone sour, could have ruined you (as reality dictates).
And now, here's the kicker of Scenario 2 : You pay taxes. LOTS of taxes. Your income is stripped from you because of others who leech off the system, never risked for reward, or are down on their luck. Paycheck after paycheck, you surrender a disproportionate amount of dollars from your reward from your huge risk (and hard work from the sounds of it). Social Security? You'll be lucky if you see a fraction of what you put into it...not to mention all of those other Ponzi scheme government entitlement programs.
With all of these taxes and examples of wealth redistribution: Now your risk is that much larger. Now your reward is that much smaller. Guess what? George W. Bush lowered taxes. And he changed the bankruptcy laws to prevent abuse. Did you think that the actions of government would (and should) bail you out? Who do you think pays for that bailout in the end? Everybody who pays taxes. You knew the risks of a loan and it didn't work out. Personal accountability: WHAT A CONCEPT!!!
It's not the ex-president's fault. It's the CAPT program's inability to deliver, and yours for taking that risk.
If you want to get pissed off about something and start blaming people, hold the gun the right way and aim correctly.
Unbelievable. Grow up. But good luck. Seriously.
V-Stall,
If someone offered you a choice of sirloin steak (ASA) or cow anus (Focus, Pinnacle), what would you choose? I left the dinner table. Enough said.
LOL! Thanks for the Friday night laugh session. I was not the only one who got sodomized by CAPT.
There definitely were d-bags in the program...one of them a female who took twice as much sim sessions to get checked out at ASA and later was told, "quit or be fired."
