couldnt agree more!
hadnt looked at the other school...wasnt aware of the dual certification. sierra academy will set you back approx $65000 for the full treatment, they are definitely worth a look, the only thing with both is you would have to ensure the visa's...sierra arrange the visas and have lots of options available so it would be worth giving them a call.
1500 hrs of having fun in a nice environment cant be too much like hell...then you can jump in a nice shiny plane and be bored like everyone else! [tongue in cheek!!]
