Learning to fly

Hi!

I've recently been doing some research on flying schools at which to do ATPL training all over the world, but concentrating mainly on Australia and the USA. Yesterday, I recieved a brochure from 'Airman' flying school in Oaklahoma and was impressed by their all inclusive pricing scheme wher you pay a set fee, no matter how many extra hours of training you require, or how many times you need to retake tests.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has, or is, training with them, in order to find out about the quality of training provided, their facilities and so on. I was also a bit surprised to read that their course takes just six months- in this country, under JAA, it usually takes a year or more at the very least, if you do an integrated course. Surely it must be a struggle fitting everything in?

Also, what is the surrounding area like in terms of things to do, etc.?

Thanks for any help you can offer!
