It's called the Workforce Investment Act of 1978 (WIA). I've been furloughed twice and got two types out of the program. I got my ATP through the second type rating school.

The best way to go about who has the funds is to contacts the schools themselves and ask what employment office to apply for the funds. Start there and they should lead you in the right direction. There are limited funds depending on the county you go through. I got $8,000 for my type and $15,000 for my Lear 35; two different states.

If you plan on getting your 737 type, I highly recommend Higher Power Aviation in Dallas. The best traing I've had!!!

Aeroservices in Miami is not so good, but they can get you 757/767 and some other things that usually the WIA doesn't normally aprove.

I might be going for my third here if DHL pulls the rug from under me....

Best of Luck!!
