Hey guys!

i'd recommend omni aviation. the founder/owner of that school is a former pilot for PAL. CIA and PAL also use their facilities for flight training so i think they have a good reputation.
im concerned about your height though. how tall are you? afaik, 5'4" is the minimum requirement of airlines. so even if you do obtain a CPL, if the airline has a height requirement, i doubt you'll get hired.
EDIT: i just checked singapore airlines and cathay pacific. SIA requires a height of 1.65 cm or 5'4". cathay on the other hand requires 1.6 cm or 5'3".

Sir Don Vito,
I think my height is from 5'1" - 5'2". I know that there is a small possibility that I will be hired in the airlines. But my friend who happens to be a pilot told me that he knows an airline pilot who happens to be only 5'0" in height. Im 18 years old and still taking up my 4 year degree. I am really determined to be a commercial pilot. Anyway, thanks for the advice!

re
if you want to train here in the u.s specifically california where you gain more experience flying busy airports and land at lots of different airports i think would be better. faa here only requires hs diploma. anyway, depends on your strategy if you want to finish school first. training from zero to cpl is 6-9 months in my school depending on your pacing obviously. costs 38k to 42k dollars including evrything school related except housing. goodluck!
