Part 141\VA Question

[slowandlow]

I didn't think I would have such a question for my first post but here it is.
I'm an instrument student, and enrolled in the part 141 program using VA reimbursement. Today when I arrived for my flight, my instructor said he had to talk to me. Apparently the school sold there 182RG and therefore lost there commercial 141 course. According to them, I have to be enrolled in both the instrument/commercial program to be reimbursed. I have been flying with them for 2 months now and TODAY they tell me that they didn't enroll me in the commercial program when I started and they will not submit the times I have already flown to VA. The owners reasoning is that he thinks it is pencil whipping to go back and enroll me like they were supposed to do in the beginning. Sorry it’s so long, what do you guys think? I am waiting to hear back from AOPA lsp.

I'm no attorney, and it's probably a good thing AOPA legal is looking into this, but I think you might just be out of luck.

You can't force someone to do paperwork they choos not to do, but the good news is that the hours in you logbook are there forever, and you can tell all of us to stay away from this particular school. I hope it works out, and either way I hope you get a new school, as they really should have let you know that they were likely to lose their VA/141 status. Good luck.
