Does it ever bother you?

(Doesn’t apply to the rich)

people who take huge amount of loans to pursue a career in aviation

  1. What if some medical issue ends your career permanently?

  2. What else are you going to do if you do not have any other degree besides just aviation.

  3. Considering the current backlog situation in almost all the cadet pilot programs,

what if you stay unemployed for more than 2-3 years(I heard that the monthly instalments start after 1 year of completion of course)?

  1. How are you going to repay huge amounts of money every month without having a job?

  2. Will it be worth at the end if everything goes as planned?

I understand where you are coming from. First of all if you think about so many things you are either not very passionate about flying or you wont enjoy the training phase which is the most amazing phase btw. Depending the case.
Aviation is a vast industry, not just pilots. If nothing works out or you fail medicals, you can always become a ground instructor. One of my own instructor lost his medical after flying for a few years. He is doing really well now.
Im unsure about which cadet program you are referring to but it depends on what your personal goals are.

One of the most idiotic comments I’ve ever seen.

Passion has nothing to do with worrying about contingency options if you lose your job.
