Go Abroad
I know fist hand..most of HMA & MFA ground and flight instructors are good but the Management are a bunch of crooks and esp in HMA..no one has the guts to do or say anything against them cuz they land up driving taxi's the next day. Overall expect to be dissapointed and cheated of your dad's hard earned cash!
My advice, go abroad and return and do a conversion.
All schools are backed up and you can expect nothing less then 2 to 3 years to complete ATPL locally.
Good luck!.
