Personally I would't recomand you to just do the CATS distance learining ATPL, then go for the CPL/ME IR in the US (JAA), that will save you a hudge money.....I went to OAA, it's true that 's a cery good school, very high quality, but look at the price...it for the ATPL studies,that does not make too much diffrenc because I think it's 2 weeks brush up (Cats is only 1 week), but for the flight training, still expensive...
