Ah, okay. That makes sense then.

You are mistaken. As long as the training is 141 they will pay. At my school, they enrolled guys as 141 so they could get reimbursed but then when they were ready to test they just did a 61 checkride. The 141 paperwork was sent in and they got paid!

I'm sorry your offended because I want to train in a Cirrus. From what I understand though all the regionals are going glass cockpit anyway and they are going to want people proficient in those systems.
well after 2000 hours in these dangerous aircraft I am flyin a glass cockpit jet and I didn't feel that having flown glass previously was any advantage at all to flying a jet (lots of time in new malibu mirage and cirrus) both corporate. what was valuable was the 2000 hours of experience. save your money and invest in some common sense.

As mentioned above, this is a common misconception.

I think I missed something. How is it you need to spend another $12K if you have your practical exam a week from now?

It makes a big difference if your under Active Duty GI bill or Reserve GI Bill.

I was an activated reservist so our GI bill is alot different. We don't have 60% tuition reinbursement.

I'm done with the ground school and I have my sign off to take the written. The 12K is a ballpark of what I'm looking at to do the flight and ground briefs all the way to CFII

What do you guys think of American Flyers in Houston? They are offering CFI/II ratings in 30 days for 3,000 dollars.

Seems a little too good to be true.

AHH... That changes everything!!! I was under the impression you were active duty. My bad. I would still look into it though. I am sure the VA has programs for you guys that will help with the cost.
