Default Those who wanted to use VA benefits at ATP

I noticed they didn't come back at all. . .so I wanted to post it here for any one in the future.

Just a little friendly warning about assuming that all 141 schools are VA approved.

If you're a VA guy, ATP won't work. Find a local 141 school and ask them about VA.
caution about the VA approval

To both the guys here talking about VA training, and needing to find it. . .

Make sure the school you decide to attend, is VA Approved for the programs you will be taking. Such as, Instrument Airplane, Commercial Single Engine Land, Multi-Engine Land, Certificate Flight Instructor, Multi-Engine Instructor, and Certificate Flight Instructor-Instrument.

If you need help finding one, let me know. But do not fall into the trap of thinking ALL 141 schools are VA approved, THAT IS NOT THE CASE

Just trying to help another brother out.

Also take note: The VA has NOT approved ANY RJ or jet transition course from ANY school - nationwide, that is, they haven't approved it for "single" or stand-alone training. If the training is included in some sort of overall package that the VA has approved, you better read the VERY fine print and make sure you will be getting reimbursed for it.

Dealing with the VA can be a headache, so choose a school who has a good track history of getting things done for their students.
