Too bad I'm too old for an opportunity like this. I'd certainly do this!

Here are the two big items everyone needs to think about:

1) The bad: You may not feel like you are in debt personally, but you are owned by the company you are indebted too... just think of that. Until your commitment is up, you have no freedom of choice.

2) The good: You will most likely accelerate your career in both experience and financially far faster than any domestic US counterpart doing it a more traditional way (paying for school via loan then instructing and then regional airline over the same 6-8 year period of time).

So, you just have to decide if the good side out weighs the bad side. And to me, there is no wrong answer here. Just comes down to your personal situation.
