As far as the loans, I took a look and it looks as if Sallie Mae was the big provider of flight training loans and they stopped back in 2009. Honestly though, to do it without debt would be the best way. Go check out a local national guard unit. The commitment is one weekend per month and two weeks per year. The new post 9/11 GI Bill covers all of your flight training if it is done in conjunction with a degree program and an approved 141 program. ATP was approved via Mountain State University.
As far as getting hired, flight instruction is usually the first stepping stone for MOST pilots in the US. Guys get hired when there is demand with just over 250 hours. ATP in the past gave hiring preference to guys who did their program. Another beginner job is aerial survey/. From there the jobs open up with experience... 500hrs skydiver pilot, 1200hrs pt 135, 1500hrs pt 121 etc...
