Hola Alex. Coma andas? He vivido ahi en Madrid durante tres años. En la calle Quintana, al lado de Rosales.

Why not get your training at home. There are a lot of schools over there now. Try http://www.flighttrainingeurope.com/index.php It is down in Jerez. It may seem more expensive at 97.000 Euros but consider it is 15 months long and covers room and board in near luxury lodging with a private ensuite room. Consider the programs in Florida cost half of that but they are only five or so months long and they stick you in a ramshakled frat house environment. Ademas, España has killer unemployment benefits, you would not even have to work while you are in school in Spain and the Spanish government would pay you more than the RJ pilots pull down here in the US. Don´t worry they will take it back when you start working, at a rate of nearly 50% tax on your income.

Also, the financing is based on the EURIBOR so interest rates will be much lower if you have to finance it.

There are at least ten more schools in Spain alone not mention the rest of Europe where there are too many to list. Try also http://www.aeromadrid.com/index.php?newlang=eng, it is over at Cuatro Vientos airport just outside of Madrid.

Maybe most importantly, since you want to work in Europe, you will start networking in Europe by going to the European school. The networking you do at Ari will, most likely, not help you develop contacts in the European market.

Buena Suerte.
