The government should not subsidize pilot training just because regionals pay poverty wages. Raise the wages to what doctors (or even nurses) make and then see if you still have a shortage.

Pay up, learning to fly is a privilege, not a right. You had no problem signing the dotted line and agreeing to it, so fulfill the obligation.

I was only refering to the Government loans expanding into other loans would would more than triple the cost of the program. Since the government doesnt control our private loans would they wouldnt be able to offer other solutions such as a freeze or lowering in interest which would be pretty simple and help all of us pay our loans down.

Hah!! I find it funny how we, the tax payer, can bail out the banks, insurance companies and car manufactures but you balk at possibly helping out your fellow Pilot. I would not be in favor of a "complete" bail out but, I would favor a reduction in interest to the lowest possible level. I feel for ya but for the most part, you made the decision, yes?
Go on the extended plan or ask for forebearance until you are on 2nd year pay. Pay more than the minimum payment if/when you are able too.
If you can take a college classes half time, you can also go back into deferment. So enroll in some classes at the local community college in personal finance and get some relief that way.
The rules were there when you signed on the dotted line. I don't see why people feel the rules should change now.

All true but in the end you end up paying a few grand more while the interest keeps adding up. Freezing the interest or lowereing it shouldnt cost the Gov much. Install for a few years then remove it so that guys actually pay it back. You cant even call that a handout...for the most part.

In the end, you read the loan contract, you knew the interest rate, you knew the payment size, you signed it anyway.
Pay up.
