Well a move to Florida comes down to various factors:
1) The first being the weather and the weather in Virginia has been horrible especially over the last 6 months (I started my IFR training in November and lost 5 months to bad weather so hardly flew at all) and isn't really improving and even when its sunny the winds are pushing past 20-30 knots which isn't fun when trying to learn. I can handle heavy gusts without a problem but it doesn't make learning fun if you know what I mean because I'd rather be learning than fighting the elements. My PPL was accomplished last year through 6 months of absolute horrible weather (including landings) and I've only ever had 10 days of good calm weather to fly in since I started. Having said that, flying in good weather (as a result of training in bad weather) makes it a walk in the park.
2) Cost of living - Virginia (particularly NOVA/DC) is expensive to live in. Rents are through the roof even in the suburbs and house prices are exorbitant. At some point when I get to an airline I'd like to own a good home and have a decent cost of living.
3) My wife's employment - Florida is pretty much a hotel hub because of all the tourists flocking there all year round and she is seeing more job opportunities down there (and better pay) than VA so I have to factor in her prospects as well.
4) I considered a move to Las Vegas, California and Arizona but it'd be too far out from my family on the East Coast so I'd rather keep my training within this side of the country or at least a two hour flight away from family.
From what I know and have heard, Aerosim being up in Sanford which is pretty close to Embry Riddle in Daytona makes for good flying weather all year round (which I guess helps with building time and getting the training done), has a good fleet of training aircraft and a structured programme (which personally I like because it instills discipline in a manner of speaking and I find self-study makes one complacent but this is a personal opinion and others may disagree).
As far as flying goes, I did my PPL in round gauges and then transitioned to G1000 so I can handle both (still adapting to G1000 though because of the various functions and goodies it has). The school I currently go to in VA is great but has limitations on aircraft (two C172SP G1000, two C172R, one C172S, a couple of Archers, one Arrow and a battered Seminole), instructors and weather.
99% of the students who come to the school want to be private pilots or at most would pursue an instrument rating. There are currently 2-3 full time instructors who have a full load on their hands so scheduling becomes an issue and on top of it on weekends it becomes a zoo because everyone wants to rent a plane and go flying, then of course there's the lovely weather.
I am actually visiting Aerosim soon so I plan to ask them on whether or not they accept fees on a rating by rating basis as opposed to a whole lump sum. The lady I spoke to over the phone told me something about an initial payment of $10,000 then $6,000 every 3 or 6 modnths (can't remember!). If I restart IFR with them it'd be about $58,000 and if I started from commercial multi to CFI it'd be around $39,000.
The only thing I don't know is how Aerosim really is because most people have done their ratings at ATP (which many who've been there criticise and say they'd have never gone there if they knew how it was from the start) or a mom n' pop school and waiting 5-6 years to get into an airline.
Timeframe and understanding is important to me because I want to do this properly and not just come out with a bunch of ratings. I feel I'd rather have a good understanding of what I'm doing and why I'm doing it so as to be a safe pilot someday when I'm responsible for carrying a plane full of passengers.
Oh and I also plan to go for CFI as I want to teach/instruct both flying and ground school to also be able to continuously learn myself and improve on the skills already learned.
