Looking for Good Schools

hi, i am just about to finish PPL in UK. for some personal reasons, i cant stay in UK, so not sure if there is any other country where i can do JAA licence and then get job there. Another options is changing my JAAPPL to other licence (FAA/CAA) and look for a school(in different country) which has got goods contacts with Airlines. like there are few schools in US which help students to get job in asian market (korea, china etc).
can anybody suggest me what to do...

If you look at just the cost of flight training, you are probably much better heading to the US to train due to the weak dollar. I would seek out a good flight school, not just one that professes connections to airlines. It is much more important to get a good flight education.

Cracking advice - I can just imagine the phone call to the prospective school

"Um, Hello. Are you a good flight school?
No sorry, we just profess to have airline links.
Ok thanks anyway"

Sorry - couldn't resist!

If one does a thorough background check of a school, it is easy to see if it is a good school or if the airline agreements are marketing fluff to get the student in the door.
