Hello,
Does anybody know where an individual (me) can get financing for Career Pilot training at Regional Airline Academy? I need $60,000 to start. My credit rating is poor, but has improved recently. I really want to do this!

What I am talking about is in 18 months I will be a first officer-copilot in a regional passenger jet with about 500 hours of flight time. Accelerated career program. Not expensive at all! $80-$100,000.00 a year! That is why I need money! Great career! One could pay off the loan in two years or less.

Don't worry; the responders are giving him some advice.

Sounds like flame bait. Does this guy realize how hard it will be to eat Ramen and pay his loans at $19,000-$35,000 a year for the next 5 years?

He's obviously chosen the wrong message board for advice. People that aren't in the industry just don't know.

So nobody that's on the AOPA board is in the industry or has any idea what's going on in it?

Don't worry. Working pilots are in AOPA, also. They are setting this guy straight.

Is that what I said? There is a high percentage of AOPA members who do not fly professionally. I will admit that this guy is getting better advice than I would have thought, but that is not a message board I would turn to for regional airline career advice.

Go rag on someone else

Uh, yeah... It's what you said.

The guy (who is probably a troll) obviously knows nothing about professional aviation, so he doesn't know where to ask. Maybe he saw some of the AOPA stuff that's been going around to recruit pilots, I don't know. Lighten up, I ain't ragging on ya.

You mean FI is the only sourc he can get accurate info. Hopefully, he gets straighten out and becomes a doctor instead.

That will work great until they outsource all operations to China like they are heading towards. Add that into the mix with shopping for the best rate on your given ailment and being a doctor is going to suck.

We're all pilots, now read the damn paper and don't get hung up on that soduku puzzle on your long legs. There's a big wide world with all kinds of things happening.

There is only one reason other pilots don't want newbies to become professional pilots:

They don't want 'em to take their job.

I like the Jumble.
