I found on the VA's GI Bill website that ATP is VA certified as of Jan 2010. Can anyone confirm that the Career pilot program is VA approved now? Because this could be HUGE for me if I can get reimbursement for my flight training. This Key bank loan is killing me.

I know before the VA would only reimburse checkrides and FAA writtens, but its showing ATP on their institutional list as of Jan 2010.
 
Well, it shouldn't be facility specific. Its program specific. Either the Career pilot program is approved or its not. The VA is showing ATP as being an approved institution as of Feb 2010, but it does not specify which program. I have sent an inquiry with the VA, but figured I'd ask here. The guy in the ATP call center wasn't sure either.
 
From their website;

The Department of Veterans Affairs is making significant changes to the Post 9-11 GI Bill regulations that affect flight training reimbursement. It appears that the benefit available to veterans will be less under the new regulations.
While we re-evaluate our program for veterans and while uncertainty surrounds the new regulations, ATP is now discontinuing enrolling new VA-elligible students in our VA-approved Airline Career Pilot Program. This change will not affect students who are active or already scheduled.

Would it be 141 specific? Because not all facilities are 141. I think only JAX is, and the rest are 61.
 
I guess I'm just going to hash it out with the VA. Its ashame that veterans who payed into the GI bill program get the shaft with professional, career oriented flight training.
 
Im looking for schools right now and it looks like a no-go here because of GI bill 2.0 At least thats what is says on the ATP website
