I did mine at Aerosim. You do your sims with Jet Blue and all is the one place (Orlando) unlike Aerostar where you have to fly somewhere else to do the sims. I went with them because I found out several people at Tiger and those at Skywest go there. Aerostar's courseware is borrowed from Aerosim.

No worries getting it on the licence with CASA as well.

Aerosim give you heaps of VPTs and I felt more than prepared. You end up doing 8 sims in total (6 as PF/PM and 2 of them solely as PM for your sim buddy for their pre-check and check ride). The test is a non event as you are fully prepared for it.

From talking to a lot of people seems well better than anything you get here in Oz. Is 15K where here is around 30k. I looked at US Airways and they were $11,500 if you had a sim buddy or 15K solo. They never got back to me in time and ended up going with Aerosim. No regrets.

Cheers
