Interesting thread and very interesting that WWW's playing devils advocat!
I see your logic WWW and your points are valid. The option should be considered if your in a pickle after flight training not before it IMO.
This thread should be a good insight as to why wannabes shouldn't dive head first into loans to achieve their dream career. Loans are great, especially the CDL, but 50K plus loans are just plain stupid, especially when you consider bonding/FI rating and TRs now.
Certainly a situation I would avidly avoid.
