What school to go to?
Hello. I am a Filipino and I reside here in the Philippines. I am currently trained at a flying school here in the Philippines and I shall soon get my CPL here.
Now, I have problems on what school to go to after I will receive my CPL. I consider the training and the cost. I wish to take my Multi, Instrument, and Flight Instructor ratings in the US or New Zealand.
My options are:
Phoenix East Aviation (US)
ATP Flight School (US)
Massey University (NZ)
Can any of you guys give me any reviews, be it good or bad, about these flying schools?

Blot ATP Flight School out. They don't accept international students unless you are a Green Card holder.
Phoenix East Aviation is a great school and I am looking at them. They do offer a F-1 visa which would allow you to stay there one year more to build hour as flight instructor at their school.
Massey University? Are you going to take a degree?

Jerry, ATP now accepts international students. In fact, they keep on calling me regarding my queries. And yes, they call me through skype. Lol
Massey University because Massey is tied up with Air New Zealand. They somehow partnered.

Yeah I didn't know! Indeed I received a call on my mobile phone some days ago from them.
But it is too expensive for just one year...
For the same price you can go to other school where after flight training you can instruct and gain 800-1000 instruction hours.
