Hello everyone!

Me and My family will be emigrating to Florida from the UK in the summer of this month.

I'm really interested in attending a flight school to get a pilots license and eventually my CPL.

Lots of schools in Florida offer a zero hours to CPL course ranging between $40,000 and $70,000

My dad has the money to pay for a course like that, but I'm really sceptical because most of the reviews of the schools are horrific.

Another reason why I'm sceptical is what are the routes you can take to secure employment as a pilot, after paying 10's of thousands of dollars for the license, because most airlines require a certain amount of hours before they'll consider taking you on.

A few advantages of mine are that I'm 19 and I have really good grades in A-Level Physics and ICT, after doing a fair bit research the main thing people say is start as early as you possibly can.

Also, can anyone recommend a good flight school in florida? either through word of mouth or personal experience?

Any help would be amazing, thank you in advance.
