I've searched the forums, but I haven't found the info I'm looking for and hopefully you fine folks can shed some light on this issue
I'm currently in the military (non-aviator) and will be ending my service in a little over a year and I am highly motivated to become a commercial helicopter pilot. I understand that under the previous GI bill, that it would cover 60% of the training (minus the personal license) however, since congress has recently passed the new and improved GI bill, I'm wondering if anyone has information concerning the application it has for schools now.
My problem is this, the new GI bill will cover all tuition, up to the most expensive public college in the state AND cover living expenses as long as the school is an accredited institution of higher learning...meaning that they have programs would award a degree. Many of the schools I have looked at, do not meet these requirements under the new bill. I know there are schools out there that do, but after looking at the curriculum of these schools, the only ones that I have found offer the bare minimum of flight training such as the personal pilot license, commercial pilot license and instrument rating. I'm looking for a school that has a fairly comprehensive program that meets the requirements of the new GI bill.
Any help or info you guys have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
