You think you have debts, think of the students of Soar that are debt ridden and have nothing to show for it.
in fact one of the young students is Nerita Somers, any relation Nigel?
You are long down the list of work, so many experienced guys and girls out there.
Lot of the jet jockey I know are taking up GA cargo and instructor jobs either in the air or theory.
All I can say is keep trying but don’t expect to be in the right side of a jet/turboprop for many years.
Remember, you are in debt but you don’t pay that back until you earn a certain amount of income and then its taken from your tax anyway. So in reality its debt, but its not the same as many airline guys/girls that have debts and mortgages in the 100’s and thousands and even the millions.
So stop worry about the debt, its not as if your paying it now anyway, and even in a low paying GA job you won’t have to pay it anytime soon.
Get another job out of the industry and self fund hour building and extra ratings and endorsements then come visit flying in a couple of years, and forget about the debt you don’t have to worry about it anytime soon.
Cheers..
