Somebody get desertdog71 in here! Seriously, he would probably have some good insight on this topic. It IS possible to get a job with the airlines, though you need to care more about your health. Change your lifestyle and don't let ATP run you down. Sounds like that guy thinks he knows what's right for you and he hasn't a clue. I seen PLENTY of airline pilots that need to lose more than 20 pounds. You're right on by believing in yourself.

I agree with those who are nervous for you about your financial future. If I were in your shoes, I would seriously give the money back to SLM and go the slow and easy route with flight training. Get a good job to support that. OK, just a short lecture...please consider taking the advice from someone who took the slow route with flight training. I have no flight training related debt and it has saved my financial arse NUMEROUS times. Now is the absolute BEST time to take your time. Hiring will be slow for a bit and there's no reason to pay extra in interest and go 70 grand into debt when you can do it slower for MUCH less. There's an easier way!
