I won't tell you to withdrawal before starting, but I EXTREMELY recommend you to take a deep look about the status of the industry nowadays before going ahead into aviation. I'm not going to tell you to quit, I think that everyone should follow their life-dreams, but truth is the industry is not so good today. An there's too many of us "following our dreams".


To take a loan from a bank in order to pay aviation training is just putting your head under the water, just a advise.. before you go. Banks never loose, they will call you to get the money (and interests) they lent you. In case they lend you money, you will have a license (wow congrats.) but without a proper job to pay it back...... and one day you will want to have kids, family, and thats money you will need but you would still be paying back your loan, just saying because seen it happen in other pilots.

Jobs? Just have a quick look on the job offers for FO worldwide and see the requirments. Pretty high. FI? well that used to be that way the last 10-15 years but recently ( last 5 years) it's even very hard to find a FI position anywhere, everybody is getting a FI rating nowadays because they can not make it to any airline.

Anyway, if you don't have any propery, guarantee or anything it's almost impossible you will get a bank loan to pay aviation training and a license.

Stay away now you can!
