You should ALWAYS refer to your school's VA rep to get information....
but saying that...as far as i read it, if you qualify for the old Montgomery GI Bill, you can use it to cover 60% of your training costs at a 141 flight school. If you elect to transfer to the newer post 9/11 GI bill, AND still qualify for the montgomery gi bill, then nothing changes, you can still use the 60% at a 141 flight school, BUT if you have the new post 9/11 gi bill AND DO NOT qualify for the montomery gi bill, then you can ONLY use it to cover flight training at a qualified institute of higher learning (college!).
That's my read on it anyway.
