I have been a professional helicopter pilot for a number of years and recently completed my JAA Fixed Wing CPL/IR training with a school in the USA. As mentioned earlier in this thread, naming a school often brings many positive and negative replies, thereby causing more confusion than the reason that the initial topic was opened.
There are many pros and a few cons regarding the US training option. If anyone would like my opinion on USA training and the school I attended, please feel free to email me at:

The usual disclaimer applies: I do not work for a flying school or have any vested interest in one, however I don't like seeing young aspiring pilots lose money or be ripped off.
