Dear forum,
my name is Michael, a german student finishing high school. I am looking for a good commercial pilot flight school in America. I know that there are a lot of options, but I've heard from some of the schools I found having a bad reputation. It should preferably have partnerships with airlines and Instructor position, once finishing the CPL licence and everything. Maybe you know any good schools. Maybe even some that have online degree partnership with any university? This is just an idea however. A friend of mine is looking at this school and says that they are pretty straight forward to international students: https://la.flyingacademy.com. However I am kind of unsure. Maybe you know some better school? Preferably it should be in LA, Florida or Michigan. Thanks for your help guys. Feel free to recommend any good school you know

You mention partnerships with airlines... Do you have a Green card? That will make a huge difference to where you are allowed to train and hence cost.

I have applied for a greencard through family, but it will not be ready within the next 15 years. I'll just have a student visa.

I'm too far removed from general aviation to recommend a school but if you haven't tried asking your question in a more US-centric forum, try Airline Pilot Central or Jetcareers.com
