You receive a conditional offer that is contingent upon completion of the course and successful completion of the technical portion of the airline's interview process. Essentially, they knock out the HR portion before you start training. Most VA students are covered 100% by the post-911 GI Bill, including their private. You graduate with an associates in aviation, PPL, instrument rating, CPL (single and multi), CFI, CFII and MEI.

I know this is an old post but I hope someone can answer to this. I'm still active duty, have 2.5 years left and I'm stationed in San Diego. I was looking to flight schools covered by VA and I just found coast flight and california flight academy that offer an associates, if you know of any other schools around the area please let me know, anyways apparently VA doesnt pay for the PPL anymore, I can pay it out of my pocket I guess thats not a problem, would you recommend me to get it from one of those schools or somewhere else for a cheaper price? And then My squadron deploys in a year and a half so we are gonna be going out a lot starting next year and I dont know if it would be better for me to wait and start all my training until after deployment, I was thinking maybe get my PPL before deployment if I can so that when I come back I domt have to worry about it, but also I was thinking about doing college instead and then do all my flight tarining togheter, but I dont know if those credits will add up to the associates to get a BS, if I do that I would have those 2.5 years left on active duty for college and then after I get out use GI BILL for my flight training. What would you recommend me??
