Can people give advice on how to finance flying? My parents are paying for my 4 year college degree in accounting, but they want me to start paying for flying myself, they will cosign the loan. In the summer I want to fly more and it is already costing around $1,500 for 2x 2:30 lessons a week. I taking a 141 course.

I know Sallie Mai offers loans, but has anyone used any other? I looked on the web, but some look shady like http://www.pilotfinance.com/.

Also should I take like $40,000 at once to cover Private, Instrument and Commercial?

What are your recommendations? My parents think I am getting myself into a dead end job.

Thanks
