Just a short update on this. I haven't finished my commercial multi yet. I had couple breaks in my training. On the bright side - I have a wonderful baby boy at home
Anyway, my VA saga seems like it's never gonna end. The school has gotten rid of C 172RG so single commercial went out the window, so I'm doing a commercial in a twin Piper Seneca. The problem is, they haven't gotten that airplane on part 141 certificate yet so VA can't approve it to be used in commercial training under part 141. I started my commercial on 152, moved on to 172RG and the school then got rid of 172RG. So, I got screwed. The Seneca is draining the life out of me money-wise, and after almost 17 hours in in (streched over 4-5 months of training) I still don't feel too confortable to take a check ride. I've done my written 3 months ago and my second class medical just expired. I'm not sure if I can even get it done, the VA approval and reimbursement would definitely help. For all of you guys out there with VA benefits, I gotta tell you - pick your battles. If it's expensive and looks too good to be true - don't do it. I wish I haven't.
