Welcome to the industry. Those of us who have been there and done that, fully understand your dilemma of how to go about funding your career. Only difference is that it didn't cost me (nor my counterparts) that kind of money for training in the past. In today's value, it would have been 1/4 of what you guys have been asked to pay, but then again, you're pretty much assured of a job at the end of it unlike those of us who invested in our careers with nothing but hopes and dreams of a job at the end of training. Those who persisted, make it in to the airlines; those that didn't, fall away by the wayside. That's the harsh reality of the aviation industry. Welcome to the jungle.
