I like this plan a great deal. Who cares what ERAU thinks of it, they are certainly not the only game in town. In addition to the GI bill, this is a nice additional benefit. Most veterans do not expect the taxpayers to pay for everything, but 10,000 per year can get you a long way in the fixed wing world. There is nothing wrong with taking your fixed wing rating and doing the add ons for rotorcraft. It cuts the cost down considerably and you will be dual rated. This is a great improvment over the Montgomery GI Bill that I was under. That bill was extremely restrictive at what it would pay for in the aviation world. This bill is especially beneficial to the army aviator who has no college degree.
