On another note, didn't really know you could get the ATP for that cheap...might need to look into that a little more closely. However since I'd really like to keep my options open for SWA still seems like it makes more sense to get the type first and get the ATP for free.

I used Tuition Assistance for a ERAU Degree and I used the Montgomery GI Bill to pay for 60% of HPA B737 price....my end was right at 3K. Get the ATP written first also if you don't have it. Then you will leave with both. Room and board...well you can add that too...depends on how you want it....some guys shared rooms, stayed with friends...ect...
Contact the VA, get your letter of eligibility (that may be the problem)....go see your education department folks....fill out the paper work and drive on! It worked for me and hundreds others at HPA. HPA is also very willing to help veterans! Good Luck!
