A bill that would cap flight-training benefits for veterans at $20,235 should be scrapped, seven GA advocacy groups told Congress in a letter issued today. “This legislation would effectively put flying careers out of reach for many vets,” said Jim Coon, AOPA spokesman for government affairs. “There are great jobs in aviation, and our nation’s veterans have earned a right to pursue those opportunities.” Also today, NATA told the House Transportation Committee about its views regarding proposed changes to air traffic control.
