0-(JAA)ATPL US or Europe for education?

[zubeyir]

Hello dear aviators;

As a 23 year old newly gratuated from college, I am looking for the ways to become a commerical pilot in Turkey. (my father working in Turkish Airlines as captain)
My question is this,
There are schools in US that claim to give 0-atpl in 9 months and aprox. 45-50.000 $. I ve looked for some schools in the forum and there are some bad comments about them. US schools seems cheaper and shorther in time but its like impossible to know which school to trust.
On the other hand, europe schools with a higher price and time (18 months etc.)
What are your advices through your experiences, should I look for schools in US, does it worth it? (how is the education quality, there are courses that give JAA) Or should I stay in Turkey and give 60000 euros and 2 years. I want to start to fly as a commerical pilot asap.
thank you for replies.
Zubeyir.

I would be very wary of going to one of the JAA schools in the US for your CPL training. I haven't been to EFT and I haven't heard as bad of things about them.

I can tell you or a fact that at one of the unnamed Florida schools, it is taking guys closer to 22 months to finish, and they still have to go back to Europe and get their JAA IR completed.

The price may be appealing, but time is also money, and you could end up spending quite a lot just on living expenses.
