Guys

Here's the situation: Chinese air traffic controller, so I assume he speaks good English. He certainly writes well.

Wants to go from zero to commercial multi-instrument and train in the U.S.
Can't afford big "brand name" flight schools like All ATPs or Flight Safety

Is well aware of the costs and pros/cons of becoming a professional pilot.

Can any of you recommend a good flight school in the U.S. where he will get good training at a fair price? Bonus points for low cost of living and perhaps housing/transportation availability. Bigger bonus points if the flight school has a history of working with Chinese and/or foreign students.

If you could list some flight schools that he can look at, that would be great. I am out of the loop with this type of stuff.

Thanks!
