Pelican Flight Training informations?

Hello,my name's Alessandro and I'm currently a 20 years old italian microlight pilot. I also am another wannabe thinking about train in the USA in a school which can issue j1 visas. The one I named seems to be professional (I know it's owned by a brit) and I would like some suggestion from somebody who knows them directly. Thinking attending professional program "A" (CPL/IR+CFI+CFII) mainly 'cause I've got a limited budget in my pocket (at the moment I'm working to save as much money as I can, and when it will be the moment (summer 2007, I hope) I will ask for a loan). Is it easy after I get CFIs certificates to get a job in any part 141 flight school? Will I have to relocate through the country or is it possible to get hired directly in Florida? As a full time instructor is it possible to cover living expences (shared appartment+food)? During the 24 months how many hours is it possible to build up?
I will also appreciate any suggestion non covered from my questions.

Cheers

Alessandro
