thanks zondaracer. No particular need for a JAA A320 type rating. Job requires at least ICAO ATP which includes FAA. But I just wanna make sure I don't pick a training center that has a known bad reputation. I'd rather spend $5,000 more and get a more comprehensive and better quality course. I checked out Aerosim and they seem to be more professional.
I still haven't heard from anybody who's gone through Pan Am type rating before. Not a good sign... Anybody went to Aerosim or any other US based training center?
