Count Dingleberry,
maybe it was unclear, but UK never came into my mind. I wrote that I'd rather go to Germany, since I know the language.
I see things like that:
I recently graduated from college with a diploma in economics. Worst case would be that I'd have to pay back approximately 50k $ to my family in the future and a job far from aviation.
So rumours can't stop me and I won't give up that easy... things ain't easy, whether you start up your own business (which is lots more than a self-financed course) or work for an MNC or whatever.
I just wanted to know if there was anybody with experience from a US JAA approved school which one of you would recommend.
