Hi Kamran,

I don't wish to sound stand-offish however if you spend an hour going through the threads here you will find many a reviews of schools and you can come to your own conclusion :)

You also posted this thread on your expired JAA PPL.

If you are wishing to use your JAA license in order to go for a FAA CPL - you will need to be valid and current.
Also - you mention in that other thread that you have flown very little during the past 18 months.
I would urge you to review the FAA regs on getting a FAA CPL - notably 61.127 (Flight Proficiency) and 61.129 (Aeronautical Experience).
Electronic Code of Federal Regulations: (http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=8cc92a0d7ea3eeb16147845efd747c6f&rgn=div8&view=text&node=14:2.0.1.1.2.6.1.5&idno=14)
You will see that you need 250 hours of flight time comprised of a number of specific requirements.
