Yes but LRT remember the point is that JAA will soon stop *any* JAA valid commercial flying training taking place in the USA.
You can get a PPL plus IMC plus 100hrs TT in the UK for an all inclusive price of six thousand pounds sterling. Yes. 6k. To be honest time you factor in travel, conversion courses plus the fact that an IMC rating reduces the very expensive hours required for CPL instrument training it don't make a whole lot of sense to go Stateside any more.
Please don't think I am having a go at anyone. I have NO personal interest in prmoting UK flying training as I am now working for an airline.
However, I *do* know one hell of a lot about this subject and have seen a whole stack of people go both ways over the years. I am also researching all the facts for a book I am writing on the subject.

ps PPRuNe Towers knows what he is talking about - I know and have *personally trained* people under JAA who have invested all of 44k sterling plus 54 weeks and then had jobs on BAe 146's operating out of a major EU capital city 3 weeks after graduating. Now *THAT* was cheap training compared to the 8 years of hour building on poverty wages you would have had to do in the world outside of JAA.
