You can also look/call/visit these guys.

I'm visiting ATP this summer and PAS in september before making a decision on where to go in Spring 09.
Bottom line: stay from the local FBO - they are a waste of time.

anyone asking for advice in these forums should listen to people with experience. that is one of reasons that these forums are here in the first place.... advice. and without helpful advice, these forums are a waste to someone looking for training advice.
I know it is hard to tell who has real experience in here and who doesnt... but the majority of the answers you have already heard will tell you that flying with your local FBO is def. the best advice. So, fly with your local FBO, or visit a few near you and pick one you like.
If your local flight school has multiple instructors, try to find someone that you feel like you trust, someone who makes you feel comfortable, and somoene who you feel like you can really learn from.
Best of luck to you!!!
