Hey...I am not an american...I am an Indian by the way.....i was associated with Skymates back in 2007 for my SIM training on their multi engine PCAD and i can tell you they were extremely professional people....right from the owner who happened to be italian american to the instructors....they had plenty of aeroplanes for the training and all the latest ones too..... the weather in Arlington ( GKY) where they were based was decent enough to fly pretty much throughout the year........although the city itself has not a lot to offer and is pretty dull for a teenager like u...........i totally recommend tht place for flight training based on my experience and also by a lot of my friends and countrymen who have flown with them...as far as employment opportunity goes u can always do the instructor course and become an instructor there.....other than that i do not see any opportunities for employment in the aviation field once ur right out of a fresh CPL.....hope it helps.....thumbs up......
