Please treat this urgent and give your inputs

Hi all,

I am an Indian citizen and i have no idea about the schools in the US except for the things i have perused on the web. I have no flying experience. I am planning to join a school in Jan 2008 for a CPL. I was pretty much impressed with Ari Ben as they give multi engine training for a decent price (actually i need only 20 hours of multi engine). But in this very own forum i have seen loads of threads and posts complaining Ari Ben about its poor maintenance of fleet. Lots of reports about accidents are goin as well. Now this is the only thing thats preventing me from joining there. As i have a very less time in hand i would appreciate any sort of inputs for the following queries.

1. Is it really not safe training there, in other words can i return home in one piece.
2. Will i be able to complete the program in 6-7 months as i have seen some posts saying the trainers don get much of log in time and that the program gets dragged.
