If your only goal is to become a professional commercial pilot, you are out of luck if you don't have several thousand dollars available somehow. If you just want to fly for fun, there is are ultralight aircraft and even the new 'sport pilot' license division which are cheaper, and may lead into commercial pilot if you go the sport training. Check these out at your local airport operators.

To be blunt, if you cannot afford flight lessons, you cannot afford to fly. it cost big bucks to get the flight time to get to where you can start to be paid for flying. Until you get your credit repaired or save the money I am afraid you are SOL. Unless you go the military route.(Do you have a 4 year degree??)

Flying is VERY expensive. You have to have the money before anything else. You could cut some costs by doing the ground school on your own but that's about it. Try getting some loans or scholarships (see aopa.org for information).
Good luck.

Either join the military, or forget about it. It is an expensive undertaking, paying for the instructor and paying for the plane rental. Good luck

Try the air force, navy, or the marines. Otherwise, look for a second job.
