Hi guys, getting back to the original topic a bit...
I am currently training for a JAA PPL at American Aviation in San Diego and it is most certainly business as usual here, they say (not saying it's true, but it's what they tell us) that the whole ICE investigation has nothing to do with the current management and therefore will not affect the school in any way.
Just to add, the flying here is great and the instructors are very good, with almost everyone I have met being ready for their skills test in less than 45 hours and passing it first time, out of the 8 or so people doing PPLs here at the same time as me, only one didn't pass the skills test first time.
Definitely recommend the school as a good alternative to Florida!
