Would it be cheaper to do 4 years online aviation science, pay up to 8k for my private pilots license, then use my gi bill to pay for the commercial and stuff? Please show me a cheaper route where I can still land a good job with an airline
US Aviation works with Tarrant County College which is a two year associates degree program in Professional Piloting. At that program the VA pays for tuition plus flight fees for Instrument - CFII up to TCO minimums. Private pilot flight fees not covered, but there are school loans available.
