That 60k at 25 years old is a lot less attractive when you are repaying a 100k loan! So now you are tied to the job by the debt, as if you leave your earning potential is immediately halved! Catch22 again!
That's why they say: " Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves."

Incidentally you see the same on a nationwide scale in Greece, where an entire nation is so heavily indebted that the population is now taken hostage by the Troika of governments, the EU(SSR) and the IMF who are just marionettes of the big corporations who made giant profits and that banks that lend them the money.

People who are still walking into this 'wannabe-a-pilot-against-all-odds' trap with their eyes wide open in 2015, should automatically be disqualified on psychological grounds from any airline job, because they obviously have ZERO ability in today's "information age" world to collect facts and assess risks/rewards.
