Default Funding for Pilot Training course.

I was just wondering where you are meant to obtain $50,000 to complete a
training course? My bank will only offer half of that. Is there
anywhere i can apply to obtain sponsership or will i have to work while
i'm training to obtain the funds?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That's what ComAir or any of the other flight training
centers get for their Professional Pilot Course.
One of my former Private students got her grandfather
to co-sign the loan for her. She finished Comair just
in time for 9-11. Real sad, she was a very good pilot.

Wow! That almost sounds like education costs to go to medical school
(though obviously much more)!

I learned to fly in the US Navy back in 1958. At that time,
the cost to train a Naval Aviator was advertised to be about
one million dollars. A bit more than Medical School. :-)

You might check Key Bank for a loan: they have low-interest aviation
loans, and offer up to $100k. Here is their student site:

It's two years at an Ivy League college.

Considering that (SIH) American Eagle starts it's pilots at $16,800, the
market for pilots when boom to bust in just two years...even faster than the
tech sector.
