I am currently working full time, but at the rate I'm going it'll take me a decade to save up enough to pay for flight training. So I have two options:
1) take out a $40k loan, attend ATP, complete their program in 90 days and hunt for a CFI job, BUT be in massive debt.
2) go in the family business, fly weekends at ATP, not have to take out a loan, BUT complete their program in 8-9 months.
which is the better option? I know that in the current market, even CFI jobs are scarce, but ATP seems to be hiring their graduates and as long as I get a CFI job with them (or anywhere, really) I dont mind being in debt since I will have cut 5-6 months from my training timeline.
would appreciate opinions.
