the goal is to do it with minimum costs, a short period and excellent training.
Dreams of the good ol' USA, remain that, dreams :-)
I thought the Kenya Airways cadets were at 43rd??
In my last comm sitting (June 2009) Kenya airways cadets were writing the ATPL subjects. Suggest emailing both schools to ask if the cadets are still there.
Living costs in USA are higher than SA but your training will be definitely shorter in US making your training cheaper.
