Hi.
Well, you didn't stipulate a location preference over here, but I train at a great school owned by an airline captain and is very much airline-oriented. They have a great fleet of planes in good shape including a couple of twins. I am doing my training there now and think they're very good. I have flown all over the states and the NE provides excellent experience due to varying weather and very busy airspace. The school is Hortman Aviation and it's at KPNE on the ouskirts of Philly - not the most beautiful part of the country, so that might put you off?! There is also ATP (1-800 ATP) which has a very good reputation, but costs a little more. Good luck with wherever you choose
