Default ATP and GI Benefits

Anyone know how ATP handles GI Bill benefits?

I have 27 months left on my GI Bill - am I better off getting a Masters with it or can I get a good deal on my flight training at ATP?

Just checking all the financial options...

ATP is not an accredited(SP?)/recognized school for your GI Bill benefits. If you are looking to use them to the max extent for flight training, you can use them at places like Higher Power to pay up to 60% of your ATP + 737 Type - I think Flight Safety in Miami is also approved. All GI bill will pay for through ALL ATP's is the testing fee's ($90 each) and the FAA examiner's fees.

ATP isn't 141, so you can't use GI with them.

FWIW-Just did my ATP/737-type at Higher Power. Cost was ~$7,300, but GI Bill will cover 60% of that (haven't gotten the check yet). HPA is very professional and they will walk you through all the GI Bill paperwork as required.
